The Out of Competition section includes fascinating, not-to-be missed short docs and longer shorts, that take a distinctive look at the art form and offer insights into what dance is and can do to make sense of relations and events in our life. Returning to Play is a charming collection of short docs that share a common attitude of joy and play, while in the moving When Dance Takes Over, we witness situations around the world in which dance appears in the most difficult moments. In Every Stage a Universe, pagan feasts, ups and downs in daily life and the social awkwardness of grief are being explored, with films by Jefta van Dinther, Alexander Ekman, Samantha Shay and Alan Lake. And New Orders investigates the threshold between past and future, life and death, with the new video work of Meg Stuart at the Vorklinik, a demolished medical faculty in Graz, and an arresting procession for changing the world by interdisciplinary artist Janie Jin Kaisen.
