Duet Tests

Jeremy Moss, Pamela Vail / United States / 2016 / World Premiere / 30 min.


synopsis

The film is the result of meetings between a dancer and a cinematographer who met every morning and late afternoon for five consecutive days and recorded their improvised interaction. The rhythm of this series of experimental tests shot on 16mm film reveals not only the dancer’s movements, but also the dynamic movement of the camera, editing, and a game played with the mirrored reflections of the dance studio.

biography

Jeremy Moss (1978) makes experimental essays, films that work with surrealistic double meanings and abstractions, and dance films. Pamela Vailová has been involved in dance for more than twenty years and is a member of the improvisational quartet The Architects.
