"New Sentinels" is a Dance short film designed to show the links between Human and his fragile, sensitive environment. Through dance and the emotion it generates, this film is an invitation to a personal (re)connection with nature. An organic choreography in which blood becomes sap, the dancers' bodies merge with the trees, reminding us of the extent to which we are linked to nature with every breath we take.
In this age of mega-fires, we are reminded of our responsibilities during a short performance.

Conceived as a work of Land Art in both its artistic vision and its production, this film shoot was designed to generate as little impact as possible on our environment, while at the same time seeking to sublimate it.

Rehearsals took place in studios with large windows and natural light, to use as little electricity as possible. The dancers wore eco-responsible or recycled clothing. Filming took place in daylight and travel was by car pool.

Our special thanks to :
Veja, who agreed to follow us and whose values are perfectly aligned with the project.
The Goodplanet foundation, which welcomed us for the shoot, a place that works to protect the environment.
