Vinícius Cardoso We do not share pains and failures. And so vanity is the price to be paid. Such a move made vanity a virtue, no longer the capital sin of pride. Bringing among its characteristics immortality. We are the civilization that put death aside. Density arising in the reference of Bosch's hell. With its collection of symbolic items. In the case of the scene referred to, there is the mirror. An object in which the medieval church, contemporary of the painter, warned that there was always a devil who inhabited it. |

Christos Xyrafakis Music and sound can create worlds that sometimes we don't realize they exist until somebody takes them away from us. It is only then that we start interpreting things differently.We start with a bear structure, dressed just by the ambient sound around us and then we proceed to veil the same structure with music. What is it trying to say when the music is absent? What's the meaning behind the music? Why are these people dancing?It's totally up to you to figure it out. |

The knowledge between us (AU)
Tara Jade Samaya & Pippa Samaya Kaunis, esteettinen ja samalla ironinen kuvaus kahden henkilön yhteydestä. Elokuvassa korostuu tanssillisuus ja visuaalisuus. Sen perus idea on tiivistetty taitavasti ja se hyödyntää tyylikkäästi elokuvan ja tanssin keinoja. The film is a beautiful, aesthetic yet ironic portrayal of the connection between two people. Dance and visuals are emphasized, the basic idea is skillfully condensed, and the film makes stylish use of the possibilities of both cinema and dance. |

Graham Adey (SE) Elokuvalla on vahva yhteiskunnallinen ja identiteettipoliittinen viesti, sen toteutus on oivaltava, rajattu aika on käytetty hyvin viestin välittämiseksi. Elokuvassa tehdyt valinnat asettavat päähenkilön ja hänen sanoman keskiöön koskettavalla tavalla. The film has a strong message both socially and in terms of the politics of identity. The execution is skillful and the limited time has been used well to convey the message. The choices made in the film place the main charater and message at the center in a way that is affecting for the viewer. |
