Dir. Jarret Blinkhorn – United States
Nominated>> Best Dance Film, Best Choreography, Best Cinematography
Synopsis A dance film that pushes at the boundaries of time to create a feeling of reconnecting with something, or someone, who is gone. Based on a live duet between Ali Kenner Brodsky and Jenna Pollack, this moving dance film honors the memory of those that we have lost, collapses distance by energizing the spaces between, and demonstrates how people can find connection through physical separation.
