Body Rites explores notions of masculinity and social violence in a concrete urban landscape through contemporary dance and movement language. The dancers' surreal journey captures the power of the body and mind in enabling us to transcend and liberate ourselves. The short has been featured by NOWNESS Picks, Encounters Short Film festival, BFI Black Star Season, BFI Future Film Festival, GIF: Girls In Film and Borrego Springs Film Festival.
