It is always a pleasure to receive another film from Jacob Jonas The Company and their fantastic, ever-growing Films.Dance project. This latest film is another great example of the project’s cross-continental creativity and ingenuity, a collaboration between London-based Director Joshua Stocker and Nigerian Ochai Ogaba’s Mud Art Company – also the team behind recent short Mataki. Choreographed over Zoom, and looking like a flipped negative, bodies writhe, twist and turn around a Tottenham warehouse space, creating an otherworldly and compelling black-and-white tribute to movement, imagination and free expression. Deploying water, minimal costumes and plastic, it shows how just a handful of smart elements can create an aesthetic that feels strikingly original. We had the chance to catch up with Stocker to learn how the collaboration came about, the difficulty of shooting with a science lab thermal camera and having to come up with smart solutions when shooting in freezing cold temperatures.
