Homesick is a viscerally tangible story of a woman and her compulsive, introverted desire for connection. This short dance film is a cinematic interpretation of Danielle Agami's solo dance-theatre performance Framed, which is centered around a break up, and the nomadic life of an artist. Not only a rounded portrait of a dancer, but of a woman inhabiting an ever-evolving emotional environment, Homesick utilizes the medium of dance to externalize, express, and even explain the harmony, synchronicity, and stutter of the interpersonal.

The film will run approximately 15 minutes, followed by a Q&A with Samantha Shay (Director), Danielle Agami (Dancer & Choreographer), Victoria Sendra (Cinematographer), and Sara Flindt (Composer), moderated by Dance Artist, Filmmaker, and Professor of Dance Cinema at CalArts, Francesca Penzani. Total running time will be approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

A recording of the film and Q&A will be made available by private link to ticket holders, viewable through January 10th, 2021. www.homesickthefilm.com.
