Lynn Estomin Film Screens at Festivals
Lynn Estomin's film, Out of Step, will be featured at the DANCE:FILM11 film festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, Nov. 12-19, 2011. The festival is a juried biennial event originated in 2007 by Scotland's National Centre for Dance. DANCE:FILM has developed into a collaboration with Filmhouse, Scotland's leading independent cinema, the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and the Goethe Institut and combines feature films, documentaries, shorts programmes, special events and dance workshops into a unique celebration of two age-old art forms: dance and film. Out of step also screened at the Philadlephia Film & Animation Festival Sept. 29-Oct. 2, 2011.
Out of Step is a high definition digital video featuring dance interpretations, original music and audio recordings of four female veterans reading their own creative writing about their experience in the military and returning home. Each woman's writing and voice are interpreted in dance and the dance chorus evokes their changing views and breaking away from the conformity and regiment of military life. The writing and voices of these young veterans offers a glimpse into their emotional journey from idealistic military recruits, to coping with PTSD, to healing and working for peace in a chaotic world.
