इस एपिसोड के बारे में
Frameform is thrilled to collaborate with Cinedans on several episodes to commemorate the 20th edition of the Amsterdam-based festival which took place in late March 2024. Through its adventurous film programming along with its substantial professional development program, Cinedans has established itself as a destination event for anyone interested in dance film and welcomes artists from around the world to its in-person event.
Cinedans celebrated its bidecennial (yes, we looked that up) with a five day jam packed event filled with film screenings, meetings, and presentations . One of these presentations was a masterclass given by Iranian-Canadian musician and film director Kavah Nabatian, who also served on the jury of the event. The episode contains a short recording from this masterclass.

Kaveh’s film “Kite Zo A- Leave The Bones” -a docu screendance that takes a powerful and dynamic journey through Haitian history and culture-was presented in association with the three stated themes of Cinedans’ 2024 event, “Resistance, Resilience & Freedom”. “Grief & Reconciling the Past”, and “Rituals & Healing”. These themes coalesced in a dedicated program called “Breaking the Chains” highlighting films with postcolonial themes from different countries and historical perspectives, portraying ancestral rituals, struggles for independence, spirituality and the persistent pervasive effects of slavery.
The program opened with a ceremonial invocation and was followed by a Q&A with Christian Guerematchi (“CRNI TITO- Blaq Tito Addressing the Parliament of Ghosts”) along with Gabri Christa, Honore Van Ommoren and Steven Elbers from the film Kankantri-The Silk Cotton Tree, which premiere in the program.
