FORWARD MOTION: ARTISTS’ CHOICE (117 minutes)
Boy
A film by: Rosemary Lee & Peter Anderson | Production Company: MJW Productions | An Arts Council England/BBC co-production; 1995 | Introduced by Wendy Houstoun
Filmed on the Norfolk coast, boy explores the magical world of an eight year old who conjures up his imaginary twin. Rippling with animal imagery and shamanistic conjuring, it is about the boy’s perceptions of the world and his realisation of his own place in the universe.
Tattoo
Director/Choreographer: Miranda Pennell | An Arts Council England/BBC co-production; 2001 | Introduced by Shobana Jeyasingh
Trees, insects and birds look on as the countryside is invaded by a lost regiment of soldiers engaged in a repetitive display. The senseless beauty of military drill dwarfed by the landscape is, in turn, absurd and disturbing.
The Tales of Hoffman (extract)
Director/Producer: Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, 1951 | Choreographer: Frederick Ashton | Introduced by Michael Clark
A film version of the Offenbach opera The Tales of Hoffmann which dramatises the three great romances in the life of the poet hero. Presented in a series of flashbacks, Hoffmann's tales depict the struggle between human love and the artist's dedication to his work. Hoffmann loses each of the women he loves but instead gains poetic inspiration, the ability to transform painful experiences into art.
Feature Film (extract)
Director: Douglas Gordon | An Artangel and Centre Georges Pompidou co-production; 1999 | Introduced by Rosemary Butcher
Feature Film, a video projection of 1999, presents Bernard Herrmann’s musical score for Alfred Hitchcock’s film Vertigo. We hear the wonderfully evocative music, but all we see are the hands, arms and head of the man conducting the orchestra. Our memory plays tricks on us. So well known is the film and the music, so evocative its plot, that in our mind’s eye we seem to be transported into what is going on.
Only You (Portishead)
Director: Chris Cunningham | Production Company: Black Dog Films, 1998 | Introduced by Russell Maliphant
In this music video for experimental band Portishead’s track Only You, film maker Chris Cunningham uses stunning Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) effects to create a magical underwater world.
The Cost of Living
Director: Lloyd Newson | A Channel 4 commission; 2004 | Introduced by Akram Khan
The Cost of Living was shot on location on the Norfolk coast in Cromer, a typical, old-fashioned and faded English seaside resort. The summer season has petered to an end. An air of desertion hangs over the town. Eddie and David are disillusioned street performers. Eddie is tough, confrontational and not afraid to defend his belief in justice, respect and honesty. David is a dancer with no legs (as he is in real life); watching him makes you reconsider accepted notions of grace and perfection. He is quietly determined not to let his disabilities or society's prejudices get in his way. A series of interlinked scenes show Eddie and David's encounters with other people; some are incredibly hard-hitting, others exhilarating because of their sheer physicality.

No waiting on an angel
The Netherlands, 2003 | 8 minutes| Director/ Choreographer: Hans Beenhakker |dancers: Vanessa Le Mat, Bernd Uwe Marszan
A woman in an abandoned little shack. From a small hole in the roof she feels the sun on her face. In the shattering heat threatening shadows are following her. The woman hastens through a sun-scorched labyrinth of narrow alleys. People appear and disappear, men and women, in groups or alone. One man in particular. The woman throws herself backwards and he catches her just in time. Every time again. Is it provocation? She is caught and manages to break free. At the end of her flee; an ocean appears behind the rocky landscape. The woman climbs the rocks, undresses herself and throws herself backwards, for the last time. Nobody except the fierce sea catches her this time. Free at last. A film about the path of self realization with all the choices and decisions it entails.

Shelter
The Netherlands, 2006 | 8 minutes | Director: Boris Paval Conen | Choreography: Shusaku Takeuchi
A man and a woman, who take no notice of each other, search for shelter in a desolate forest. While the rain pours down, intimacy ignites between them. The leaking roofing doesn’t bother them, on the contrary: the augmenting torrent of raindrops inspires their intimate dance. When the rain stops, the magic dissolves; they both leave, feeling uneasy and ashamed.
Car Men
The Netherlands, 2006 | 28 minutes | Director: Boris Paval Conen | Choreography: Jíri Kylían
Car Men is a collaboration between the world famous choreographer Jíri Kylían and filmmaker Boris Paval Conen.

The actors in this film are older dancers (around 50 years old) and the main prop is a 'TATRA 87', a famous car from 1937.

Reservaat

Nussin
The Netherlands, 1998 | 15 minutes | Director: Clara van Gool.
It is a cold winter, two couples are tango dancing in an East European block of flats. The party gets out of hand and has a fatal end. Or were they maybe all alone, by themselves in their own flat? Nussin is freely inspired by the dance performance 8 (Ocho)
Reimerswaal

Bitings and other effects
The Netherlands, 1995 | 30 minutes | Director: Clara van Gool
In this film, adapted from a scenario by Angelika Oei, Van Gool is inspired by the Southern Italian tarantella dance, in which the bite of the tarantella spider produces alternating bouts of drowsiness and frantic dancing. Against the backdrop of an Italian villa in Renaissance style, and with the chaotic sounds of the Palermo streets, the film shows how the bitten dancers are overcome with searing pain and an irrepressible urge to dance. This film received a ‘Gouden Kalf’ award in 1995.
Black and White Ballets (PART 1)
The Netherlands 1995 |60 minutes | Director: Hans Hulscher| Choreography: Jíri Kylían

Dances: "Sarabande" with music by Bach, "Petite Mort" with music by Mozart, "Sweet Dreams" with music by Webern, "No More Play" with music by Webern, "Falling Angels" with music by Reich, "Six Dances" with music by Mozart.

The Netherlands, 2005 | 60 minutes | Director: Mark de Cloe | Performers: Ria Marks and Titus Tiel Groenewege
Valse Wals is a filming of three theatre pieces of Orkater, blended to an exceptional film, and directed by Mark de Cloe. Ria Marks and Titus Tiel Groenewege interpret the characters in the story with great conviction. They dance wonderfully,

Mountain air (Höhenluft)
The Netherlands | 25 minutes | Director: Annick Vroom | Choreography: Hans Hof Ensemble

During jolly sleigh rides and lavish dinner dances, they are eaten up by secret amorous desires and jealousies. Mountain Air (Höhenluft) shows the microcosm of a sanatorium.
