7 Butterflies and We Dance. And It Will Be Our Revolution
Innovative Cinema Short, AT/JP 2025, DCP, 30 min, OmdUProgram: Innovatives Kino Programm 5
At historically significant sites in Kyoto, young people create ritualistic dances of invocation. From off-screen come natural sounds and whispered poetry implicating the patriarchy. The butterfly promises radical transformation: a film like a spell cast against power and gender roles.
