“Physical Cinema” is a specific genre of film-making in which a choreographer, a film-maker / visual artist, and composer/ sound designer collaborate towards a creative work where movement, motion, time, and space are a prime source of the narrative or abstract “story board”. It is an area of mutual and balanced exchange of concepts and ideas. It is not a documentary, or filming of a live staged performance. The dramaturgy of location as well as innovative and experimental kinetic use of the camera all play an extremely important part in the process.
