The film threads the personal experience of dance artist-scholar Paula Guzzanti as she travels to the capital San Jose and Upala, a city in the North border between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, to facilitate a dance wellbeing programme to young people and women seeking political refuge. Using the language of dance improvisation and poetry, the film shows the emotional journey of the facilitator as she tries to understand the reality of the body for refugees. The physical an emotional encounter of participating in dance allows the more intimate stories of fear and pain to be shared for the camera. The need for protecting the identity of refugees suggested the poetic imagery of the partido (fractured \/ splatted ) body. None of the faces of the interviewee are revealed on the screen; their testimonies are captured through the gestural expressive force of body language. Filmed in July 2019, this Costa Rican-UK production gives voice to the needs of bodies that face the danger, fear, and hardships of force migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Director Biography &#8211;&nbsp;Martin Devek<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/ff-storage-p01\/press_kits\/headshots\/001\/383\/649\/original\/7f7394b34d-headshot.jpg?1567115704\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Martin Devek is a Music Composer and Visual Artist interested in the improvise dynamic of things set in motion, and their capacity to awaken his curiosity for music composition.
