Terpsichore

Terpsichore is a captivating exploration of dance as an art form, illuminating the passion, discipline, and vulnerability that transform movement into poetry. The documentary follows three distinct yet interconnected artists: Cece Trapani, an Irish dancer; Aurora Maur, a burlesque performer; and the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company (DCDC), a renowned contemporary dance ensemble. Through their stories, Terpsichore reveals the universal language of dance—one that transcends genre and speaks to the depths of human emotion. Intimate interviews and behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage offer a raw, unfiltered look at the artistry behind each performance, capturing the essence of dance as both personal expression and a bridge between artist and audience. More than a showcase of technique, Terpsichore delves into the soul of movement, celebrating its power to connect, inspire, and reveal the unspoken truths of the human spirit.

Glaistig

A young woman is plagued with recurring visions of a demon-like creature that she believes she actually saw during a night in the woods with her boyfriend and their roommate. Her attempts to get the guys to take her seriously are dismissed as false memories from a drunken night. While driving to the backcountry, they encountered a ranger who cryptically warned them about strange sounds in the forest and the dangers of trespassing on a private stretch of land called the Devil's Backbone. As the days pass, the visions grow stronger and the Creature's form becomes more clear, until one night it appears outside her window. She again tries to warn her friends, armed with knowledge that the threat is real. However, when the Creature gets inside, it's already too late.—Cody Boesen
