Movement becomes the main character in these emotional stories, told through steps.

Blurring the lines between movement and filmmaking, our Narrative Shorts screening showcases fiction-driven films where dance is seamlessly woven into the storytelling. These pieces follow characters navigating identity, grief, love, and resistance set in locations ranging from Iranian stages to a cross-country motorcycle journey. Emotion is carried not just in words, but in bodies in motion. With expressive cinematography and carefully crafted choreography, this program proves that narrative film and dance can amplify one another, creating stories that linger long after the credits roll.
