Storyboard P, a Stranger in Sweden
Dance on Camera Festival 2017
February 3 - 7, 2017
Filmmaker Matthew D’Arcy captures Brooklyn-born flex artist Storyboard P on his home turf and follows him to Sweden to teach and perform. Screening with: Lost in the Shuffle (Simone Maurice, 23m).
Storyboard P has a slender body, and he makes it do impossible things. His improvised movements—alternately smooth and quivering—grow and sink in slow motion. D’Arcy captures the Brooklyn-born flex artist on his home turf and follows him to Sweden after two female hip-hop dancers invite him there to teach and perform. This encounter is a risky venture for all. Rules and regulations frustrate him, mood swings shake his self-belief, but in life, as in art, the unexpected is just around the corner.
Screening with:
