A series of dance films from across the world.

Better Late Than Never

At the bottom of a dusty, earthy ravine, a person stands just off centre, they are wearing a pale pink wrap top and wrap skirt, they raise a large rock above their heads and look towards the rock. A second person dressed in a beige top and trousers raises both arms so their face is covered. A third person’s feet are visible. The soles of their feet face the camera and they appear to be lying on top of a tall rock formation. White plastic bags are trampled and strewn in the earth and a washing tub and wooden ladder-like structure are in frame.
