Featured review
A cosmic dance
Innocence, vulnerability, and grace suffuse this new short film from filmmakers Linda Arkelian and David Cooper. Two male dancers swoop and turn as if gravity scarcely impedes them at all, as they explore and contemplate the universe and their place in it. There's gentleness and a tender tentativeness to their cosmic dance moves, as, all the while, a light source effectively mimics the sun. The result is lyrical and lilting, a most convivial union of moving images and music. "Eclipse" is a strong follow-up to the same filmmakers' 2012 debut, "Hands." It's the best kind of non-narrative filmmaking, in which theme, music, cinematography, choreography, concept, direction, and editing yield a beautifully evocative result -- a cosmic dance of the human race in its infancy striving to find its place among the stars.
