Patrick is angry and he wants to break everything around him. When attending a forced anger-management course he meets other enraged people from different backgrounds. An experimental therapist tries to force their brutal energy out through dance. Can Patrick find a way to direct his violent energy towards something that is valuable for him, or even worthwhile for others?

 

Thomas Bos (1988) is interested in movement, humor and authenticity. Agnes de Mille once said: ‘The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music. Bodies never lie.’ Words are often used to hide stuff, film can be used to show it. Thomas obtained his bachelor’s degree in Digital Video Design which he uses to make video designs for museums, onstage dance performances and online teasers. This work has been performed and shown (among other places) at Centraal Museum Utrecht, Eye Filmmuseum Amsterdam, Lowlands Festival, Sziget Festival (Hungary), Lunga Festival (Iceland), Artscape (South Africa), Indonesia and Freetown (Sierra Leone). 

 

The film will be part of the screening on 30.10.2022, 19:00-20:30, Festival and Congress Centre – Varna.
