Dance Digital presents SOMA
Festival spotlight
SOMA is an experimental short film which uses movement to tell a story about the origins of the human body.
The piece moves between two dimensions: an infinite black hole, where bodies exist beyond linear space and time; and a labyrinthine house, where a decadent gathering is taking place.
As the dreamlike narrative unfolds, its characters encounter visceral experiences of love, enchantment and death.
Dance Digital Presents is a curated selection of films from the festival available for free, released for a time-limited period on Digital Stage.
Submissions for Dance Digital 2027 are now open. Filmmakers are invited to submit films to screen at the festival, be considered for an award and be selected for a curated limited time release on our Digital Stage platform.
