BREAK * 2007 JURY WINNER
Shona McCullagh, New Zealand, 2006, 14m
A moving tribute to a family’s dynamic from the perspective of a young boy that plays inventively with rhythm and narrative. From the director of wildly popular dance short FLY and the choreographer for KING KONG and the THE LION, WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE. For more information and to purchase her other shorts FLY and HURTLE, please e-mail Human Garden

Breath
Huseyin Karabey, Turkey, 2005; 40m
(in Dutch, with English subtitles)
A taciturn Pina Bausch, the heralded queen of European dance theatre who studied at The Juilliard School in New York, smiles, nods, and takes notes for the marvelous dancers of her Wuppertal Dance Theatre, seen rehearsing and performing in Istanbul. Enigmatic as always, the choreographer nevertheless offers a privileged glimpse of herself at work with her handsome, playful dancers who solicit approval from the master choreographer with their improvisations.

RAPT
Sara Joel and Jody Oberfelder, USA, 2006, 6m
Cinematography: Lesley Avery Gould. A very pregnant woman rolls into the water and into the world of her unborn child.

Views on Video
Charles Atlas, U.S., 2005, 28m
Charles Atlas captures a Merce Cunningham work with a steady wide shot on his dancers and a subtle touch of hi-tech magic for spice.
