The In Contact (Kontaktissa) screening will showcase the diversity of dance film, where each film explores connections with the self, others or one’s surroundings.

The screening begins with Elli Isokoski’s film, “Alina’s Morning”, in which the captivating Alina wakes up to a new day to see if it brings pearls or gravel.

In Sari Antikainen’s documentary “Dance Lesson”, choreographer Liisa Pentti and a group of young people on the autism spectrum communicate non-verbally through sensory experiences in unique ways.

In the film “Where I Please”, Heini Mäntylä and Iiris Laakso give the night-time streets to a young woman walking alone.

Urban landscapes are also featured in the evening’s second documentary film, “Shifting”. Anna Nykyri gives space to three movement artists whose careers didn’t quite turn out as they dreamed.

“The Will to Change” is the work of the DANCO – School of De-Colonizing the Art of Dance collective, and it asks: who has the right to touch, hug or kiss?

Emi Linnakoski’s film “Sanatoniho” (speechless skin) reveals the scars of psychological violence. How to recover from something invisible?

“Let There Be Tea” is an unapologetic and colourful celebration of life. The film was made by a group of four dancers: Anna-Kaarina Jokinen, Catrin Kaitaro, Ines Kakkonen and Tinja Nerkko.

The final film will be Kati Kallio’s “Walks with Me”, which is based on Elli Isokoski’s idea and the first film of the evening “Alina,” aka Kyllikki Piira’s reflections on life, friendship and loneliness.
