The story
A bodyin motion.
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.
The making of CUT
Inside the experiment.
The journey began with collecting an ARRIFLEX 765 from ARRI Rental in Munich. It brought together more than 60 film workers at FilmGear in Copenhagen, with four cameras ready to capture the same performance.
Our love of film also means sharing how it is made. Go behind the scenes with the people who turned this experiment into a film, and see the craft that keeps analog cinema alive.
Shot on film
Same moment. Different feeling.
Super 8, Super 16, 35mm and 65mm, rolling at the same time. Watch the formats side by side and see how texture, movement and scale change the experience.

Director’s note
Why this film?
CUT puts a person at the centre of the filmmaking machinery. Selene is surrounded by cameras, lights and people, but her dance gives the images life. I am drawn to the tension between her movement and the gazes and structures around her.
I believe in an audience that is curious about cinema. With CUT, I want to open a conversation about film as both storytelling and craft, and about the images we want to make in the future.
