À propos du film

After they cycle through two steps back and one step forward again, the dangers of complacency are revealed and the reward that is nestled in perseverance is imagined. Conceivably this is the taste of BONUM.

Calgary-born dancer Sabrina Naz Comanescu enthralls audiences with her choreography for video — artistically shot by Aran Wilkinson-Blanc — making dance accessible as a narrative composed and filmed for the screen. Infusing her background in contemporary dance with a crisp music video sensibility, Comenescu’s BONUM reflects staging influences from South Korean TV dramas, and embraces the analogue tactility of VHS film and glitch.
