FREEDOM OF BODY AND SOUL: TWO FILMS BY CECILIA BENGOLEA AND CHRISTELLE LHEUREUX
By José Sarmiento Hinojosa
Two 2020 films I saw which were decidedly different from one another but shared a common element that made them exceptionally good and drove me to write a piece about them (in this series of impossible dialogues between films I am planning to do) were the dance/coreography documentary Shelly Belly Inna Real Life by Argentinian filmmaker, dancer and choreographer Cecilia Bengolea and 80,000 ans, a dreamlike split screen film by Christelle Lheureux.
