Name: Violin Fase
Genre: Short
Duration: 12 min
Rating: 7.5
Cast: Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker

Ballet performer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker tests the limit of the body in a 12-minute experiment. Her performance consists of spinning and moving endlessly, almost like a spinning top, as the repetitive violin music plays along. A dark set with a few points of light that sometimes make one woman's shadow to feel like there's more person on the stage. The variations of her movements and of the music are minimal, almost imperceptible.

It goes on and on, the music doesn't change, and her body and her movements knows no limit, when there's a moment when the camera's too close of Anna and it feels like everything's about to stop.

Not something you see everyday, unless if you're a dance enthusiast. A fascinating view of harmony, balance, and of the ballet art. It's exhausting on us, but it's more exhausting on the lady. But she carries on reaching near perfection. The final moment reveals something extraordinary, and that moment alone validates our whole waiting to see what's going to happen. 6/10.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
