Doclisboa seeks to imagine reality through new cinematic forms of perception, reflection and action, placing filmmaking into dialogue with its history to question the present of cinema. Doclisboa is interested in films that are rigorous about their conceptual and formal implications; films that experiment with cinema’s artistic and political possibilities and refuse to be categorized; films that engage with and mirror the complexity of the world. Doclisboa offers a ground where cinema and the contemporary are investigated as acts of being together in, and with, time.

Het Gerucht: Rosas danst Rosas

1983 • Belgium • 27’

Rosas danst Rosas was the performance that forced Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s international breakthrough and has become a benchmark in the history of postmodern dance. The film uses fragments of rehearsals and interviews with De Keersmaeker and composer Thierry De Mey, and offers a glimpse of the choreographic creative process in which repeated abstract movements play a key role.
