A CELEBRATION OF SWING & THE CHASE FOR PERFECT MOMENTS
A CELEBRATION OF SWING & THE CHASE FOR PERFECT MOMENTS
The first spoken words of the newest short by WNW Member #9338 Leandro Santini & Anna Franzén describe Swing as a dance form that's "a bit like a drug." Kudos to the filmmakers, as the intoxicating movements, dreamy slow-motion and reflective voiceover almost immediately put you under Swing's spell. "You're constantly chasing this high, this amazing magical moment," the voice continues.
SWING is a lyrical documentary that portrays the harmonious relationship between two dance partners, and between them and the dance itself. Michaela and Rupert share how the dance form has changed their lives and brought out their real selves.
SWING's running time is just over 2 and a half minutes; that's how long it should take for you to wonder how you ended up dancing on your desk looking down at the chair you had just been sitting in.
