BIDFF: Uncertain areas. Body and cinema
The 8th edition of BIDFF – the Bucharest International Dance Film Festival – started on Thursday, September 8th with a screening of short films from the “Amalia and Chief Rabbi Dr. Moses Rosenˮ Centre for the Elderly, selected by Paul Dunca / Paula Dunker, who is involved in the activities of the Vârsta4 Community Arts Centre (an initiative which began in 2009, aiming to provide residents with collaborative opportunities in the areas of performance, theatre and dance). The first day's programme also included the opening of the VR exhibition (which can be visited throughout the festival), a screening of director Saim Sadiq's debut film – Joyland (2022) – one of the titles that featured in this year's selection of the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes International Film Festival and which quickly received its first positive reception – and towards the end of the day, the focus shifted to the Film Garden, where the first five short films in the international competition were screened.
