Wayne McGregor - Going Somewhere

Synopsis

Wayne McGregor never looks behind. This British choreographer multiplies experiences that are sources of infinite experimentation and improvement. Illustrated by fantastic and even extreme choreographic clips, this documentary makes us discover this passionate artist and contagious creativity. Since dancers from his company are also his research material, he feeds them: during a workshop led by a doctor in neurology or during his residence in a small British town’shigh school, dancers turn out to be researchers themselves.

A boy braiding a horse's mane. Riding Time

Director: Roopa Gogineni, Farhaan Mumtaz

Year: 2025

Neza bazi, an ancient South Asian cavalry sport adopted by British colonial officers, has two distinct scenes in today’s UK. There is the national team (posh, tweed-wearing) and a quickly growing Pakistani British circuit at the heart of this film. Then there is Jaleal, a dual-heritage competitor who braids manes and sharpens lances while quietly dreaming of show jumping. Filmed over three summers in the northern town of Bradford, RIDING TIME meanders from the absurd to the profound. Juxtaposing the boisterous play and caretaking of the stables with the pounding hooves and fine kurtas of competition, the film follows its protagonists into a transcendent space between geographies, childhood and adulthood, people and horses.
