Music Clip

The guy is trying to enjoy his food by the beach when the girl falls from the sky, steals his food and disapperas like a fleeting bird. Alas, he didn't get it and she kept appearing and disapperaing from his life till the last day came...

The film "CIDADE" portrays the city of Lisbon today, as cosmopolitan and diverse, in contrast to the early 20th century. To represent this change, the film's sole performer wanders and reflects on the city, observing the transitory changes that have occurred over time. She observes and imitates the behavior of today's city dwellers, verifying the urban development of the 21st century. The artistic movement only occurs in the character from the past, however the piece is completed by the three roles represented: the people of the metropolis carrying out their routine, the performer reflecting on the present and, predominantly, the emerging city that is Lisbon.

Locked in, separated by a huge glass and deprived of speech, two people meet without knowing how they got there. Where are the limits that prevent us from acting in unjust situations? Are they physical or are they within us?

"Un-Contained" explores the external process of relinquishing the need to meet society's expectations, and the internal transformation of authentic expression. The dancers break away from compact shapes and conditional unison movements to individual movement phrasing and partner-work as the location and settings change around them. What happens when we give ourselves permission to be fully authentic and fully in wonder? Produced and filmed in the dramatic landscape of Ketchikan, Alaska.

Finding themselves on a rooftop after a night of partying a gaggle of fatigued party goers work the night out of their system. Their bodies buzzing and unwilling to leave the night where it is, the bop and bounce unsure or where it started and if it will ever end.

This film is a reflection on the sources of inspiration for the Artist. There are people who create masterpieces in different areas of art. Where do they get their inspiration?

I'm Here is a short film that emerges from rehearsals for the dance theater piece Life in this House is Over by director Samantha Shay. Exploring the social awkwardness of grief, and inspired by the writing of Anton Chekhov, the project gathers current and former artists of Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, as well as the Grotowski Institute-based physical theater company Teatr ZAR, as a reflection on the lineages of Polish Jerzy Grotowski and German Pina Bausch, their relationship and how their work resonates today.

Music video by Almería-born artist Cuti. Classic rap for classic rap lovers.

By turns goofy, sexy and poignant, BLOW ME DOWN messes with 3 dimensions and the 4th wall - or is it the 5th? Danced by two delicious movers who are decades apart in age, channeling Popeye, pop culture, post-modernism and the Pieta.

“That time of year thou mayst in me behold / When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang...” We are all travelers through time, Walking through its endless cycles, Never truly lost.

No dialogue. One performer. A story where absence and fullness cycle. A landmark cinematic vision where Japan’s ancient beauty returns—sacred, sensual, and unlike anything seen before. From the volcanic ridges of Izu Island to the towering facades of central Tokyo, “Trace of Nowhere” emerges not as a narrative, but as a reverberation—an answer to something deep, ancient, and never fully seen. This is not cinema that speaks, but cinema that listens. It is a contemporary invocation of Japan’s most enduring aesthetic tradition: yūgen—that which is hidden, fleeting, and mysteriously resonant. At its center stands only Butoh dancer Mizuki Gojo, a silent guide whose every breath, pause, and gesture evokes the ineffable. Her presence is not merely a performance, but a threshold—her movements offering the body as a shrine, memory, and passage. She becomes a conduit of sacred sensuality—tactile, poised, and drawn from elsewhere. Director Rei Stott, through a camera that gathers rather than commands, becomes a vessel for the world's quiet urgencies—one who gazes with attunement and guides the viewer across the unseen threshold between this world and another. The film leads us through a world where wind and concrete, stillness and motion, spirit and surface, whisper across each other. What was personal becomes eternal. What was local becomes mythic. ”Trace of Nowhere” is a contemporary Japanese vision rooted in millennia of sensibility: where fragility is power, silence is structure, and ritual is revelation. A ritual of beauty—elemental, ancient, and deeply Japanese—summoned into the now. It is a gesture—graceful, austere, and enduring—toward a world that calls, and waits to be called back. ------------------------------------------ About our Production Method This film production project began shooting without a predetermined overall script. During filming, locations were selected spontaneously across the island, forest, and town areas, and dancer Mizuki Kawashiro performed improvised movements tailored to each space. Every scene was captured in a single take, without retakes. Here, the dancer's body itself radiates meaning, condensing the voice of the space. From the resulting footage, the inevitability inherent in its randomness was discovered, and a narrative emerged guided by the meaning intuitively perceived within it. Through this approach, an attempt was made to create a “primordial myth through film” transcending the realm of human skill (= poetry). To capture clear footage serving as a “passageway” conveying the dancer's powerful transformation of space, director Rei Stott insisted on shooting through the camera's viewfinder. Using a camera integrated with her own left eye, she filmed through improvisational bodily manipulation driven by her inner body, attempting to create direct physical resonance between dancer → filmer → audience. The footage, imbued with the dual “void” physicality of dancer and filmmaker, is further integrated with Hideki Yamakawa's exquisite music, amplifying the nuance of “void.” This union manifests the profound, dense philosophy of “yugen” inherent in the modern city as tangible reality.

I learned how to freedive for this music video and do an underwater dance. This was a scary experience and every time I kept thinking an alligator was going to come get me. I trained before hand, however, the real thing is always a bit unexpected. But you cannot get anxious underwater, because that affects your breathing. I truly enjoyed this project. I wrote this song about love and shot the video in the springs of Florida.

The sensation of suffocation, whether physical or emotional, real or metaphoric, is a universal experience often triggered by traumatic events. This groundbreaking video, created by Michal Bratt in collaboration with the Spanish choreographer Israel Galván, aims to articulate this feeling through a cinematic dance medium. Depicting the struggle of coping with confinement, the protagonist embarks on a journey expressed with honesty, humor, and moments of madness, all in pursuit of inner peace and hope within the confines of a closed room. Will she find liberation? Will we?

A celebrated musician with five million followers— yet only before her does he vow to give it all up. As love trembles between sacrifice and self-belief, dreams blur into disillusionment. In the end, will they lose each other, or carry their solitude together toward something greater?

Monkey & Dog: Coded Paws Two pals cling tightly, hand in hand they stroll, One’s a wily monkey, one’s a tail-wagging soul. How to bond through thick and thin? When one sulks, the other grins - Secret codes only “we” control! Through foggy dawns or meteor showers, We charge through thorns, we sniff wildflowers. Let the world spin fast or slow... Our friendship's a bold cartoon - Pawprints chasing pawprints—where? Nobody knows!

The Source is a story of youthful revolt, of battles inherited from one generation to another, of struggle for survival, of hope and rebirth.
