Best Experimental Film
Ten Poem Project is a hybrid dance film that brings together poetry, movement, and lived testimony to explore migration, identity, and artistic resilience. Emerging from a larger practice-as-research monograph, the film weaves choreographic performance with personal narrative, poetic text, and visual storytelling. Rooted in the experiences of migrant dancers in the United States, Ten Poem Project reflects on displacement, survival, and the transformative power of dance as both testimony and archive. The work blurs the boundaries of scholarship and art, creating a visceral meditation on how bodies remember and reimagine home across cultures.
