S3NSE

S3NSE is a cinematic experiment of poetry and intensity; a non-narrative journey in which watching becomes an oscillation between visual moods.

The English word for "sense" means both rational understanding and sensual perception. It acts as a bridge between the individual and the world. One that must be walked anew every moment. Karen Bößer and Misael Lopez dance their way to places full of contrasts. Vast landscapes of nothingness contrast with enclosed places without walls or boundaries that allow no visual orientation. Their bodies alone serve as fixed points.

Director Statement

S3NSE is an artistic reaction to life in the ubiquitous spreading social fog chambers. Democracies are tottering, international law is being trampled on, people are sawing at the branch they are sitting on and no one knows which forces will win in the end.
S3NSE is an invitation to empathize, to listen and simply to be authentically human.
