Men” is a collaboration between theworld famous choreographer
Jíri Kylían and filmmaker Boris Paval Conen. Based
on the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet they shot a hilarious and
poetic short film in the destroyed landscape of a Czech brown
coal mine.

Prague in 1947, Jiri Kylián
is the choreographer and former artistic director of the Nederlands
Dans Theater, one of the most innovative dance companies of
Europe. In the course of his career, Kylián has received
many international awards, including Officer of the Royal

Academy in 1993. He was awarded the Tuschinski Award for his
final exam film Horror Vacuï, and is currently active
as a screenwriter and director of narrative films and television
dramas. In 2002, Conen was awarded a Golden Calf for his direction
of the television drama series De Negen Dagen van de Gier.
“Here
After” (65min, 2007, Belgium)
dir. /chor. Wim Vandekeybus
“Here
After” is
a cinematographic adaptation of the dance/theatre performance
Puur .This middle length experimental film is a mixture of
fiction and dance, however with a stronger emphasis on the
fictional element than in any of Vandekeybus’ former
films. Through flashbacks, Here After tells the story of an
isolated community in which a power-mad tyrant commands an
infanticide. In the danced scenes we see how the characters
relive their memories in the here-after; as if their emotions
and traumas were captured in the memory of their bodies. The
film shows terror and its destroying effect on a community
and questions existential themes such as life/death, culpability/penance,
identity/memory, regret/negation and power/freedom.
Wim
Vandekeybus
is a maverick director, choreographer, actor, photographer
and a founder of Ultima Vez company. After having discovered
the medium of film during the registration of his first performances,
the acclaimed choreographer Wim Vandekeybus directed his first
short film “Elba and Federico” in 1993. This film
became the basis for the production “Her Body doesn’t
fit her soul.” From this moment onwards film became
a constant value in Wim’s work; an extra outlet for
his wild imagination, an important and essential element in
his performances.
