INTO THE HINTERLANDS
2015
World Premiere: The Berlin International Film Festival—Forum Expanded
HD single channel video, 39:06
Distributors: Cinema Guild (US/educational) and Arsenal (Berlin)
Director / Writer / Camera / Sound / Edit /
The Hinterlands, a Detroit-based performance ensemble, practice a form of training which they see as a provocation towards the unknown – a space both physical and imaginary. Their practice is one of concentrated play, of finding the edge of one’s balance, and the limits of one’s body. At once corporeal and ethereal, reaching beyond the walls of the single room in which it is filmed, this portrait of a creative process immerses the viewer in the ecstatic experience merging the space of their ludic play with the liminal space of the cinema.
