Watch: Stunning Experimental Dance Short Film 'Inside The Blind Iris'

"Better to wake up, you fool." This is incredible. A magnificent 10-min short film is available online called Inside The Blind Iris, directed by Brazilian filmmaker Douglas Bernardt. Filmed in the UK, this features choreography and art direction by famed dancer Botis Seva, along with mesmerizing cinematography by DP Harry Wheeler. "Inside The Blind Iris is an experimental cinematic dance film exploring oppression and the absence of belonging. Set in the main character’s confused state of mind, dancers appear as haunting spirits and memories, as he journeys in search of his own self." It's a visual experience that combines dance and cinematography and music to explore themes of oppression and dominance and autonomy. Featuring music by composed Torben Lars Sylvest. The light & shadows dance scenes that kick in at ~4:30 in this video are phenomenal, visually astounding and kinetic. The ending with the whale is also rad - an obvious reference to Béla Tarr's Werckmeister Harmonies. Take a few minutes of your time to watch and be amazed. // Continue Reading ›
