Women's Work: Satan Said Dance (Amsterdam premiere w/ director)
Open: 20:00 - 22:00 hrs
Tickets: € 5

Cinema of the Dam'd is pleased to host a 16 week series of new movies by emerging female filmmakers. Our Experimental program block explores the most formally adventurous films by women directors. We close out the series with the Amsterdam premiere of Kasia Roslaniec's fascinating, fragmented character study Satan Said Dance (2017). Roslaniec will be in attendance and joining us for a post-film Q&A.

Karolina (Magdalena Berus), a hedonistic young writer, celebrates the success of her new novel. Drifting between lovers, her life is a dizzying blur of casual sex and hard partying, fueled by cocaine and booze. But beneath her carefree image, Karolina struggles with addiction, eating disorders, and loneliness. Kasia Roslaniec's striking character study is composed of 54 short vignettes, from which a fragmented narrative unfolds like a sideways scroll through a stranger's Instagram stories. Deploying the 1:1 aspect ratio used on social media sites, Roslaniec keeps Berus' gutsy performance tightly in the frame, while suggesting the limits of a life lived in the public eye. Fusing smartphone aesthetics with cinematic form, Satan Said Dance is both a bold storytelling experiment and a canny critique of the selfie generation. Watch the trailer. 

Directed by Kasia Roslaniec, 2017, Poland/Netherlands, 97 minutes. In Polish & English w/ English subtitles.
