Every few years on the screendance festival circuit, there are films that find repeated play and sweep up festival awards.
Between 2018-2019, that film was the Dutch screendance Sisters. With sophisticated choreography and a meticulously thought-out structure, this dark yet affecting film left impressions on audiences worldwide and has won over 50 awards (and counting).
We had the privilege to speak with Daphne Lucker and Emma Evelein (director and choreographer of Sisters, respectively) about the extensive process of creating the film as well as the impact it has on viewers.
The members of the Frameform team also offer their insights on the film and reflect on curatorial challenges of presenting such a complex work.
