CUT
Flamenco dancer Selene Muñoz enters a film studio surrounded by cameras, light and people. At the centre of the room, she dances through the gazes, expectations and structures attempting to contain her.
CUT is the world's first film production to capture one performance simultaneously on all four classic Kodak gauges: Super 8, Super 16, 35mm and 65mm. It is also the first Danish film production shot on 65mm.

A cinematic experiment
One performance. Four cameras. Four formats. The same moment.
At one end of the spectrum is Super 8, the small, handheld format that has recorded private moments and home movies for decades. At the other is 65mm, one of cinema's largest and most exclusive capture formats. In CUT, those extremes and everything between them meet in a single performance.
The cameras rolled at exactly the same time. The result makes the format itself visible: its texture, scale, fragility and weight, and the way those physical qualities change how movement is felt.
The release included the film, a behind-the-scenes documentary, a side-by-side comparison, festival screenings, stills, posters, vertical versions and social material. The audience could see both the result and how the experiment was made.
“CUT is an attempt to start a dialogue, not only about film formats, but about how we make films today and what quality of film we want in the future.”
Jesper Tønnes · Director
