Filmed in Australia on expired 16mm colour film and hand processed black-and-white, this poetic short film follows the iconic American choreographer, Deborah Hay, as she reflects on life, death and her work as an artist and human being.

In January 2019, Deborah spent a week at the Australian coastal township of Indented Head to visit the home of her close friend and colleague, Margaret Cameron. Margaret, a theatre maker and poet, died of cancer a few years earlier.

The film, premiered in Berlin in August 2019, will receive its first showing in Finland as a double-bill with Vera Nevanlinna’s new interpretation of Hay’s solochoreography News.

 

A film by Peter Humble and David Young (2019).
