PRACTICES OF THE SELF
Official BIDFF Competition (Romanian shorts)
This year, Romanian directors and choreographers meet in the intricate web of the self. They explore the daily turmoil, re-establishing the connection with their own bodies, discovering new ways towards inappropriate fantasies. Eight experimental shorts and an animation will make you wonder how to connect with yourself and with the environment you live in.
