A Curation of International Short Films Between Breath & Lens Amsterdam (Netherlands), Taipei (Taiwan)

International curators HSEIH I-Hsuan and Emily Shin-Jie Lee bring their borderless curatorial voice to this year’s Digital Pass with a specially selected collection of films.

This curated series mirrors the sensibility of their in-cinema programme at the Barbican, offering audiences a chance to encounter movement in its most expansive and evocative forms – from the dance of memory and time to the choreography of image and feeling. Many of the featured works highlight artists and filmmakers from Taiwan, whose practices move between the corporeal and the cinematic, drawing out resonances of presence, absence, and the in-between.

Accessible globally with a Dance Umbrella Digital Pass, this film collection invites you to experience a constellation of short works that dissolve boundaries between body, screen and spirit.

i-husan and Emily have also curated Dance Umbrella Film Series: Sunday Shorts, a collection of films which will be screened at Barbican Cinema on Sunday 12 October.
