Iwona Pasińska cinema retrospective, one of the most individualized voices currently in videodance. We will be screening six films, in a total of 70 minutes, on a joint journey through a distinct cinematographic and choreographic universe. The special session opens in black and white with Inicjacja (2017), an exploration of dreams, fear and trauma, and continues with Brzemie (2018), an explosion of colours and shapes, a moving tapestry about the rhythms of tradition and community. We return to black and white in Toporzeł (2019), about the complex relationship between human beings and nature, and rediscover colour in Ta Mara (2020), an exploration of the duality latent in the life, as in the work, of Tamara de Lempicka. Herbarium (2021) combines the classical-romantic music of Edvard Grieg with a series of floral tableaux, in a set of static shots full of movement, and Bestia (2022) closes the session, returning to the idea of community to work on the nature of the relationship between animals and humans, between prey and predator. The director's interdisciplinary approach stands out throughout this set, in a unique fusion of visual art, music and contemporary dance, always under the stamp of the Polish Dance Theatre.
