Dance Umbrella Film Series: Sunday Shorts is a public film screening programmed by international curators HSEIH I-Hsuan and Emily Shin-Jie Lee who will draw on their global perspective for Dance Umbrella Festival 2025.
Presented as a feast of short works, the films will be shown at the iconic Barbican Cinema on a Sunday afternoon. The event will have a particular focus on filmmakers from Taiwan whose work has movement at its heart, whether through directorial choices, editing processes or presence of the physical body on screen.
“At its heart, the programme is a constellation of memory, empathy and resilience with works that transcend temporal, spatial and bodily boundaries. It gestures toward art as a cosmos: a space where spirits are stirred and wounds begin to heal.”
The programme will be followed by a Q&A with curator Emily Shin-Jie Lee and guests.
i-hsuan and Emily have also curated a selection of films until the title Between Breath & Lens, which will be available via the Digital Pass.
