Saint-Louis on the move

Motivation of the jury:
Lyrical and engaging experience of many public spaces and public life. The film explores space through movement and dance and highlights where a community comes together while showing the in-between spaces. Wonderful performance and tempo, with two featured dancers from the Senegalese contemporary dance company Diagn’art.

The result of a collaboration between the Senegalese contemporary dance company Diagn'art and the Belgian and Swiss artists Kita Bauchet and Stéphanie Pfister, "Saint-Louis on the move" presents a subjective sketch of the city and the rythme of its daily life.
An exploration of Saint-Louis through several choreographies performed by 2 dancers and 2 cameras, on Siegfried Canto’s music that highlight the cities energy and the fierce creativity of its youth.
