Brighton Screendance Festival: Digital Stage

Pull up your favourite armchair and watch our eclectic handpicked selection of international dance shorts for free, here from 14-21 November. 

This year's programme includes:

  • Elle X Elle Y (Girl X Girl Y) by Valeria Galluccio:  Enter the luminous universe of ElleX, an androgynous being moving through a suspended world on a pilgrimage to create their clone.
  • À bras le corps (Head On) by Chélanie Beaudin-Quintin: Celebrate solidarity in protest and the strength of a group in revolt.
  • Les mêmes yeux que toi (The same eyes as you) by Derek Branscombe. Adapted from Anne Plamondon’s award-winning dance work, this film captures a woman's return to her late father’s apartment, opening up a fragile dialogue with memory, loss, and the unseen.

 

Recommended age: 12+

A figure whose face is just seen under a hooded sweatshirt is standing with his hands gracefully held in front of his face. Tall buildings flank him and the lighting is grey and dim.
