Synopsis

Dancer Lil' Buck grew up jookin and bucking on the streets of Memphis. After a breathtaking video of him dancing to Camille Saint-Saëns' "The Swan" accompanied by cellist Yo-Yo Ma went viral, everything changed.

Birds in the Earth
Two sister ballerinas dance through the villages and forests of the Sámi land in this whimsical and disarming commentary on indigenous sovereignty and land ownership (The Sámi are the only indigenous people within the European Union area).
