THE FILM

A Hybrid between a documentary and a dance-film that takes you on a journey of imagination. The main character is 80 year old Ruth, a former dancer. Together with her and a great selection of choreographers, dancers and artists she explores the proces of imagination. Selected for the 'Gouden Kalf' competition in 2019. The film will premiere on NFF this fall.

THE IDEA

Choosing a specific look for the film helped creating a feeling of a parallel universe. Seeking lenses, filters and looks that supported the story proved to be a fun challenge. The limited budget made us think outside the box.

THE SOLUTION

We chose many different solutions to tell the story. Handheld, tripod, technocrane, movi and dolly were all in the mix. Classic Kowa 2X anamorphic's ensured a great and unique look.
