EFM Screening ‘Open Arms’

Presented by Medieoperatørene

A loving portrayal of dance artist Martin Slaatto and his elderly mother, Margit. The film follows the development of his singular fusion of dance, art and exercise of both body and mind – the Transportation Dance. This requires moving in unexpected ways, like “fly-flapping”, “melting”, and skipping. He is energetic and enthusiastic; unwavering in his belief in the potential of his innovation. Margit is an artist in her own right – a poetic writer of precise and heartbreaking reflections on the experience of growing old. A heartwarming, quirky story about creative passion and the importance of moving forward both as an artist and human being.
