Documentaire 7 perspectives

2021

Premiere at the International Festival of Films on Art

The documentary 7 perspectives, directed by Xavier Curnillon and co-scripted with Vincent Guignard, premieres from 16 to 28 March 2021 in the program of the 39th edition of the International Festival of Films on Art. Produced by Le Carré des Lombes thanks to the exceptional support of the Conseil des arts et lettre du Québec, this film addresses the creative process of choreographer Danièle Desnoyers and the performers of the piece Unfold | 7 perspectives.

Synopsis

In the darkness of an editing room, choreographer Danièle Desnoyers watches the images shot between 2018 and 2019 during the rehearsals of her creation, Unfold | 7 perspectives with seven dancers. Only two years have passed and the reality today is quite different. What is projected seems unreal, coming from a time when there were no health restrictions. So, each in turn, the performers watch these same sequences and speak. They confide in each other and lift the veil with emotion on the mysteries of creation, this zone of exchange, of artistic contamination and porosity between bodies. A unique and fragile ecosystem.

The documentary 7 perspectives is available online via the website of the FIFA from March 16 to 28 for the entire duration of the festival! To watch the trailer : Click here.
