Synopsis

A visually beautiful and heart-warming documentary tracing the first collaboration between acclaimed contemporary dance companies Restless Dance Theatre – a troupe of dancers with disability – and genre-defying Chunky Move.

The film moves between thoughtful, playful interviews with the performers, and the process of developing this major new work led by choreographer Antony Hamilton. As the group explores movement and expression, they also question the myths of physical perfection. The film’s director, Rhys Graham (Words from the City, SFF 2007), worked closely with the two dance companies and assistant director Jana Castillo, a dancer living with disability. Made in association with Bus Stop Films, this is a joyful, kinetic ode to the rewards of rethinking dance, perfection and harmony.

Limited seats are available for patrons requiring access for wheelchairs, low vision and hearing loop. Please contact our ticketing team directly on 1300 733 733 or tickets@sff.org.au to complete your booking.
