“ I’m not trying to make my movie be like another movie, so I can’t tell you anything. I sat around the script for a year and a half, desperately trying to find money and getting nos and yeses that became nos. So in a last minute effort, I turned to Kickstarter and thought “Okay, if I can raise half the funds here, hopefully others will see that people are interested in something nontraditional and then I can raise other money that way.” And that was a challenge bigger than filming out in the desert, and while it was so difficult, I was also so ready for it, so the pains of doing it became joyous.”

    MA

    CELIA ROWLSON-HALL United States, 2015

    A stunning debut by dancer and choreographer Celia Rowlson-Hall, Ma takes the Virgin Mary and radically re-imagines her in a contemporary and dialog-free story of archetypal relationships and movement through an American landscape of desert, motels and Las Vegas. Unconventional and risk-taking.
