•MELT
Noemie LaFrance, 2010; USA; 10 minutes. Eight dancers perch on seats fixed to a wall. Wrapped in beeswax and lanolin costumes that slowly melt away, the dancers become euphoric as if approaching the sun.

•SLOW DANCE
Joe Cobden, 2010; Canada; 2 minutes 24 seconds.
A young man and woman search for love, setting off a barroom brawl of balletic proportions.

•VERTIGES
Stephanie Decourteille, 2009; Canada; 4 minutes 49seconds.
The mad rush of a thoroughly modern woman who wants it all, who seeks to control her life; exhausted and out of breath, almost suffocates.
