Canada 2025‘Dance is Everything’ celebrates the transcendence, adventure and joy of human movement. With hand drawn care, the short animated film begins tracing the slow elegant movements of a dancer among the stars. It follows her in joyous play as she jumps, turns, dips and splashes, magically springing the natural world to life. Her exuberance for creation keeps building as she runs and jete’s whole forests to life, imbuing everything in golden magic. She pirouettes, spinning outwards a galaxy of stars then launches into space to revel in a colourful fantastic celestial play before fading back into space. Created in an intimate, personal hand drawn style in deep interplay with the lush music of Lennie Binder, ‘Dance is Everything’ is director/animator Bea Labikova’s second short animated film.
