Description
Kati Kallio has once again curated a stunning and diverse MOVING NORTH dance film screening for us.
On International Dance Day – Wednesday, 29 April 2026 – we dive into dance films that invite us to reflect on rituals, our habits, and the concept of death.
The screening opens with 55 REVOLUTIONS, a personal work by Jakobstad-based Alexandra Marina, exploring the ritualistic power of dance in the face of grief.
The Danish-Dutch piece How To Be A Perfect Human ironically reflects on the rituals of the pandemic era.
In GONE, a mysterious man entertains himself in a house filled with memories. Or was he ever there?
Silent Fragments, an Austrian work produced in Malax by Andrea Hackl, is a personal exploration of the relationship between psyche and body. The piece is inspired by themes of ritual, catharsis, transformation, and empowerment.
In Cailleach, Vasa-based artist of Irish background Ailish Maher takes us into underworld-like atmospheres, prompting reflections on inevitability and the transition from time into eternity.
Hiljaisuuteen painettu by Vilma Tihilä and Sanni Kriikku portrays a complex mother–daughter relationship. Emerging from the rituals of human relationships, the atmospheric film brings forward transgenerational themes.
In In the Same Boat by Ostrobothnian artists Mia Malviniemi and Meri Junkkonen, a memorable boat trip between father and son transforms into a moment of dance amid everyday rituals.
Finally, the Faroese duo RAMMATIK presents Einmin, set in the aftermath of a celebration, evoking memories of post-party rhythms and lingering energy.
Total duration of the films is approximately 70 minutes.
After the screening, a discussion with the attending artists will be held.
