Bodies cannot speak freely under capital and surveillance. So the question is, what can the body speak?
How To Dance searches for forms of expression that exist beyond the verbal, asking what kinds of truths, refusals, and desires can be conveyed through the physical.
In the stillness of a park, a grieving young man meets a mysterious stranger whose comforting presence rediscovers hope and uncovers a connection that transcends time and loss.
A private conversation is transformed into a soundscape where only the occasional word emerges with any clarity. Moiré patterns move like human shapes, meet then separate into the darkness.
Haunted by unanswered questions about himself, Olly journeys through his past. His story unfolds in two starkly contrasting realms: the raw simplicity of his childhood, captured in his own drawings, and the fluid, surreal world of his dreams. We glimpse the fractured memories of his early years: an abusive father, a mother lost in the haze of the past, and his sister Sally, a beacon who urged him to find escape and control within his own imagination, transforming nightmares into refuges from reality.

Official Selection Quinzaine Des Cineastes - Cannes Film Festival 2025 - World premiere
A poetic memoir and political report, shot in Berlin and Leipzig, and in landscapes around the British Isles. The film’s narrative builds out from the events of the Reichstag Fire in Berlin in 1933 in which the pioneering German-Jewish sound recordist, Ludwig Koch, on whom the film ultimately centres, plays a minor role, placing him and his family in danger. The film is structured in two parts, juxtaposing Koch’s persecution in Nazi Germany with his experiences as a refugee recording bird song and other sounds in Britain.
The film’s images of contemporary urban and rural terrains, and of objects and documents, create a collision between past and present. Shifts in time are further emphasised through the use of Koch’s original sound recordings from Germany and Britain which feature throughout the film.
A dark, tactile and contaminated film.
Toxic chemicals and pollutants build up within the human body.
