REELING Headliner Program
FEATURE FILM (led by a series of short films):
The Cost of Living
Directed by Lloyd Newson, the founder of DV8 Physical Theatre
UK
A disparate group of dancers, preferring to express themselves through dance rather than speech, clash with each other and members of the local community.
The Cost of Living was shot on location in Cromer on the Norfolk coast: a typical, old-fashioned and faded English seaside resort. The summer season has petered to an end. An air of desertion hangs over the town.
Eddie and David are disillusioned street performers. Eddie is tough, confrontational and not afraid to defend his belief in justice, respect and honesty. David is a dancer who has no legs (as he is in real life), watching him makes you reconsider accepted notions of grace and perfection. He is quietly determined not to let his disabilities or society’s prejudices get in his way. A series of inter-linked scenes show Eddie and David’s encounters with other people; some are incredibly hard-hitting, others exhilarating because of their sheer physicality.
DIRECTOR Lloyd Newson
Based on the stage production the cost of living — conceived and directed by Lloyd Newson.

ABOUT THE FILMS
Taha, Ua (One, Two) | Ngaire Lyden-Elleray
Combining poetry, dance, and film, Taha, Ua (One, Two) navigates the grief of displacement, the kinship of community and the resistance of reconnection. The film explores what it means to be ‘home’ when from an Indigenous diaspora perspective.
BOLERO.S | Mehdi Kerkouche
France
Ravel’s Bolero, thanks to its universalitý and contagious energy, transcends generations and cultures. Conceived for dance, it continues to inspire artists.
Mehdi Kerkouche brings us his version of BOLERO.S, choreographed in keeping with his inclusive and visual universe, recounting the life of a youth in different scenes in Créteil.
a drift in space | Kaya Joy Tsurumi
Canada
A drift in space is a dance film about three cosmic beings and a meandering astronaut who move through inner, outer and imaginary spaces.
Offering | Marlene Millar
Canada
OFFERING creates a meaningful and joyful convergence between the Migration Dance Film Project’s body percussion artists and emerging artists from dance (gigue, contemporary, street) and circus arts. The choreography uses the power of procession in Montreal’s urban borough of Little Burgundy to amplify its storyline of (re)imagined homescape in the era of mid-pandemic. The procession formed by movement artists from across communities weaves its way through urban corridors, neighbourhoods, green spaces — an uncoiled assemblage of nomadic storytellers anchored in the intimate knowledge of individual and shared experiences in unison. OFFERING imbues movement in stillness within our city and takes refuge in its powerful migratory patterns traced across our urbanscape.
Shame (عيب) | Hadi Moussally
Lebanon
In the 19th century, in the Levant region, Salma Zahore, along with her parents and neighbors, participated in a photoshoot using a long exposure technique. At the end of it, Salma decided to take off her coat, revealing her body. Unaware of the chaos this gesture could cause within her circle, she did not know it could lead to shame (عيب).
Le Peuple Manque (The people are missing) | Pau Pericas, Georgia Vardarou
Spain
Only the act of resistance resists death, whether the act is in the form of a work of art or in the form of human struggle.
Flamenco at the Shop | Rosanna Terracciano, Tracy Cumberbatch
Canada
Flamenco at the Shop is dancer Tracy Cumberbatch’s love letter in film and dance to her dad’s auto shop which also held an important space for her flamenco dance studio. “It’s not a glamorous space, but my parents carved out a small section in the back mechanic bay to build a make-shift dance studio for us to use and make as much noise as we needed.” For over 14 years, Combie’s Auto has become a place for the Calgary flamenco community to come together and share their love of flamenco.
Rosanna Terracciano | Director, camera and editor
Tracy Cumberbatch | Concept and dancer
In Petrichor Daze, Shannon Lin
Canada
In Petrichor Daze tells the story of a pleasant encounter with an unmet acquaintance, an unfolding duality that explores the existence of the other only through the idea of them.
