QUESTIONS WITH EMMA CIANCHI

[1:57] Reyna asks: “First, I would love to congratulate you on being the Audience Selected Film for kNOwBOX film festival 2019 premier in Puebla, Mexico. With that said, could you tell our audience a little bit about who you are, your career, and how your passion for dance film and physical cinema came about?”

[5:29] Reyna asks: “Can you talk more about collaboration?”

[7:40] Reyna asks: “After watching HIC ET NUNC “Here and Now” I was mesmerized by the story being told, the space, choreography, music, the choreographed spatial patterns, costumes, and the beginning and end picture. Could you tell our audience what the process of developing this film was like?”

[11:56] Reyna asks: “You are collaborating with people you have met not from the dance scene? You are collaborating with choreographers to create the work.”

[13:33] Reyna asks: “How did you find the space you want to film in?”
