“When you shatter your fantasies the pain may be crippling or transformative. You will want to go back to the fantasies because you will never be sure whether you have really broken free.”
The film mixes stop frame animation with dance, puppetry and live action. It was filmed in the amazing underworld of Wieliczka salt mines outside Krakow in Poland, and in Scottish sand dunes.

MARIA LLOYD
Maria trained at the International School of Theatre Jacques Lecoq in Paris. Since then she has been creating dance animation films. Her experience of working extensively with teams of artists has led her to find a personal film language where art forms meet and challenge each other. Living in England for 13 years her films were commissioned and distributed by South East Dance Agency in the UK and Euroarts in Berlin. Her work has been funded by Arts Council England and she won the IMZ prize in Monaco for the best screen choreography. Her short films have been shown on European TV channels and screened in many international festivals. She was part of starting The Nightingale Theatre, which has become known as a cutting edge interdiciplinary art centre in the UK. Maria is now based in Oslo and works with Medieoperatørene production company. She is now working on a new documentary project, ‘Mapping the air’, about a blind dancer.
