Canada | 2020 | 10 min
Jouer Trailer
For over 20 years, producer and artistic director Mistaya Hemingway has been noted for her critically acclaimed dance films. With Naïade, the artist explores and questions the ways that self-perception and self-image have changed in the post #MeToo era. What will we choose to keep, and what will we lose? Shot in black and white with a haunting soundtrack, and using the water as a feedback loop, the film dives into the depths of consciousness. An accomplished dancer, Hemingway delivers an impactful solo performance, backed by the evocative music of Michael Felber and Jace Lasek and Inuit throat singers Beatrice Deer and Pauyungie Nutaraaluk.
