In this edition of Dance on Film’s annual shorts program curator Peter Pucci explores different relationships that evolve out of love, intimacy, and loss. Demonstrating choreographic invention, a diversity of characters, and extraordinary partnering, these films attest to the power of dancers to explore and express deep emotion as they test the boundaries of technique.
