Mouvement Perp\u00e9tuel<\/strong> is a Montreal-based, award-winning independent production company specializing in film, video, and new media with a focus on dance. Co-founded and co-directed by Marlene Millar<\/strong> and Philip Szporer in 2001,  the company is known for its impressionistic dance-media films, documentaries, and multi-channel installations that explore choreography and offer compelling portraits of contemporary dancers and choreographers across Canada, Qu\u00e9bec, and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past 25 years, they have cultivated a distinctive practice within the genre of screendance\u2014also known as dance for camera\u2014merging choreography, cinematography, and sound into unified, expressive works. Their projects often embrace hybrid forms and cross-cultural dialogue, exploring themes of identity, environment, and the poetics of the body in motion. Millar and Szporer continue to expand the possibilities of screendance through both independent and commissioned work, creating films that resonate with audiences around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Hunt<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The intensity of an internal struggle manifests itself externally, as revealed through an intimate, fragmented view of dancer Peter Trosztmer, as choreographed by Sharon Moore.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Greater the Weight<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In The Greater the Weight, dancer and choreographer Dana Michel assembles extremely physical movement\u2014a remnant from her previous training in track and touch football \u2014 with mathematical precision and poetic improvisation. The result is an exploration of the body as an instrument in a symphony of rupture and flow. A reflection on the moment when one stumbles, whether by accident or on purpose. Sometimes one can recover quickly and get up again\u2026 sometimes it\u2019s not that easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

40<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A man at a pivotal point in his life: 40-something, still vital and strong yet taking stock, unmasking, and exposing his hopes, passions, vulnerabilities, and regrets. This is the subject of 40<\/em><\/strong>, a homage to the late Ken Roy, that follows his journey of self-discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lost Action : Trace<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 3D dance film is an adaptation of Crystal Pite’s stage production Lost Action<\/em>. The film is couched in a war narrative, with soldiers who offer the ultimate physical sacrifice; equally, it is a moving homage to dance\u2019s fleeting quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bhairava<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bhairava<\/em> evokes facets of Shiva, the Lord of Dance, as both the destroyer of evil and the guardian of time.  In this work, carried by evocative musical score and the singular energy of the ancient site of Hampi, dancer and choreographer Shantala Shivalingappa<\/em> embodies the presence and distinctive qualities of Bhairava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mercy<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe hands of the dancers are the hands of my mother and sister, the hands of our grandmother, the hands of their mothers.\u201d These words of celebrated American poet Cornelius Eady serve as an anchor for the short film Mercy that weaves poetry and imagery, with gesture, movement and voice into an intricate meditation on black womanhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
