Spring of a Dancer.jpg

Spring of a Dancer (Italy) by Damiano Fina

In his short film, Spring of a Dancer, Damiano Fina invites the audience to embark on a poetic and philosophical journey in which dance becomes the language of the invisible. Today, dancing in the face of wars, the perpetuation of violence and the questioning of acquired freedoms is an act of defiance. Damiano Fina reminds us that “even concrete can be conquered by flowers.” The central question of Damiano Fina’s film Spring of a Dancer proposes a search for meaning with respect to dance. The short film offers no easy answers, but immerses us in the sacred and transformative power of dance, seeking a taste for questioning rather than answering. Spring of a Dancer is not a film to watch, but a ritual to experience. At the heart of the short film resides a reflection that connects the questions humanity has been asking since the moment it turned its gaze to the stars and the eternal motions of the heavens.

Running time: 00:16:47
