8 Tender Solitudes

MONTREAL INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL

 

Thursday 21 July - Sunday 24 July 2021

Montreal Independent Film Festival is screening our short film 8 Tender Solitudes.

8 Tender Solitudes was created in collaboration with seven extraordinary dancers, each performing alone. Featuring a soaring score by composer Kate Whitley, it’s made from yearning and sensuality, anger and frustration, grief, memory and love.
