Creature
by Nevena Nikolova
Bulgaria

Beyond the concepts of monstrous and divine, a reverse creation is explored.
words from the filmmaker
Creature is first born in my dream that haunted me for while until I started to think about shooting a short screen dance exploring and developing the concept. We based our piece on the principle of the Collective Body by erasing the borders between the three dancers and using them as „primary matter“ for the creation of an imaginary living organism. In fact, the whole process was about the discovery of CREATURE that turned out to be very primal and pre-rational, free of cognitive processes and complex intentions. Un impulsive, fluid, living thing, following its natural predispositions through simple, minimalistic but precise movements.
why we love this film
Excellent display of progressive and conscious minimal movement exploration. Very tastefully designed.
