The 6th edition MUSIC DANCE SCREENINGS FILM FESTIVAL CONSONANCE

One day, in a small live house, Dai and Ohno were inspired by each other's performances and, while acknowledging their completely opposite personalities, hit it off. As they gradually closed the distance between them, they became close enough to introduce each other to their partners. This is a story about the music, love, work, and friendship of clumsy men in their 30s. It is a half-true story filled with laughter and tears, reflecting the long-standing relationship between the director and the lead actor.

"Ghost Chair" is a groundbreaking dance film that reimagines traditional ballet through a captivating blend of music, movement, and storytelling. With seamless integration of ballet and athleticism set to a rhythmic score, the film unfolds an emotionally resonant narrative that invites audiences on a heartfelt journey.

"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.

The film follows four young musicians in their process of crafting a soundtrack for the silent film "La Souriante Madame Beudet" (1923), directed by Germaine Dulac, widely considered to be one of the first feminist movies ever made. Filmmaking blends with musicmaking, as the four characters delve into the essence of the movie to uncover unexpected elements - initiating a dialogue with a world last seen 100 years ago.

Dance film

In the silence of a secluded Greek beach, a father and his 12-year-old daughter share the innocent joy of a summer’s day. But when the sea becomes a realm of peril and the girl is dragged underwater, the mother’s music – played from afar yet charged with telepathic power – becomes the lifeline that brings her back to safety. A wordless story where art becomes the ultimate bond between life and hope.

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!
