A Long Walk
Elysa Wendi, Wai Shing Lee
Bande-annonce
Ce film sera présenté lors de l’événement La Nuit de la danse le 16 mars 2023 au Théâtre Outremont.
Un danseur déambule dans un tunnel sombre et sans fin. Il est au bout de ses peines, mais d’une manière ou d’une autre, il réussit à continuer. A Long Walk est une métaphore minimaliste et contemplative des hauts et des bas de la vie. Fusionnant réalité et imagerie visuelle, le film reflète le monde intérieur du danseur malaisien Ong Yong Lock et de la persévérance dont il a fait preuve pendant ses 30 ans de carrière.

Elysa Wendi is a dance artist and filmmaker working between Singapore and Hong Kong. Preoccupied with the abstraction of memory from place, time and biographical traces, Wendi explores these themes in her live and filmic works. Straddling between disciplines, Wendi develops her films with a choreographic eye and performative approach. Her short film “1958 Delivery” won the Best Experimental Film award at the 2018 South Taiwan Film Festival, and her film Forgive or Not to Forgive won Best Documentary at Hong Kong ArtHouse Film Festival 2020. She co-founded Cinemovement — a platform for inter-disciplinary film creation together with film producer Jeremy Chua in 2015.
