Watch Heartache

Set in a derelict theater, "Heartache" deploys tensely expressive movement in a darkly playful take on the dynamics of seeing and being seen. At once kitschy and confrontational, the dancers move with deadpan gazes through tight trios with razor-sharp precision and evocative gestures. Glimpses of private moments and vivid bodily imagery highlight the tension between the individual and society. This short film was part of a past San Francisco Dance Film Festival season. Tune in this October to see select films from the 2024 festival.
Heartache is a 2021 special interest movie with a runtime of 3 minutes.
