SCREENDANCE LINEUP
-
![A confrontation scene with two young men fighting, one grabbing the other by the collar, girls trying to intervene, set indoors with modern decor and plants.]()
Behind Closed Doors
A visceral exploration of perception and memory, Behind Closed Doors unpacks how a shared family trauma fractures into conflicting truths—and ultimately seeks reconciliation through embodied empathy and collective understanding.
Direction and Choreography by Hanna DiLorenzo

![Movie poster for 'EDGE' featuring Gelya and Akira Yoshida, directed by Abel Moreno Pradas, with a background showing a wall with a vertical bright light, and a woman and man standing back to back.]()
Edge
Locked in, separated by a huge glass and deprived of speech, two people meet without knowing how they got there. Where are the limits that prevent us from acting in unjust situations? Are they physical or are they within us?
-
![A person with long black hair is lying face down on an old upholstered armchair, with legs up and feet resting on the armrest. The scene appears disorganized, with debris around the chair and a textured, gray background. The image accompanies the title on the poster for the film "INHALE."]()
Inhale
A young woman is trapped in emotional limbo after years of social suppression in Iran. She is suspended in stillness as life echoes faintly around her. Distant explosions punctuate her isolation, and every attempt to move forward is disrupted by external forces. As she gradually dissolves into nature, the film meditates on the fragility of human existence. Though the seasons shift from winter to spring, she remains frozen in silence and solitude.
Direction and Choreography: Lagha Ghavam, Mohsen Pouryousefian

![A man and a woman face each other in a hallway with colorful lighting, and the word "Manchego" is overlaid in yellow text.]()
Manchego
It is morning. A man and a woman are sitting at the breakfast table. They spent the night together but barely remember each other's names. On the table, there is manchego, jam, cured ham, freshly baked rolls, freshly squeezed juice, coffee with milk, a water carafe, and more. Do they seize the opportunity in front of them?
