Script: Julien Cadieux
Produced by the National Film Board of Canada, with the collaboration of Société Radio-Canada, as part of the Tremplin 2008 contest with the financial support of Canadian Heritage through the Interdepartmental Partnership with Official-Language Communities (IPOLC).
As fluid as a choreography, Inhabiting Dance
introduces Sylvie Mazerolle, a young woman for whom dance is as vital and
fundamental as breathing. As it tracks her process, the film also takes a look
at dance in New Brunswick
.
Sylvie’s sensitivity permeates the film, which uses powerful symbolic
imagery to underpin her words and shed light on her deep personal and artistic
quest.
Now settled in Vancouver, Sylvie still yearns for her native New
Brunswick and seeks a project that will bring her closer to her roots. But
wherever she may be, Sylvie will continue doing what she loves, knowing that
her real home is where her heart is — dance.
This documentary short was produced as part of the Tremplin contest,
which gives young Canadian francophones living outside Quebec a chance to make
their first film under professional conditions.
