The Session — Marlie, Amsterdam · Nina, Valdivia · Matilde, Valparaíso

A practice by dEUSeXmACHINA films

The Session

The Session is where the film happens.

An audiovisual practice born from the encounter between a dancer and a filmmaker.

We choose a place, observe its atmosphere, imagine a path. Without knowing when it begins, we let it flow wherever time takes it.

There are no mistakes and no accidents: it is presence dancing with uncertainty.
