When I started watching Valentina Khodnevich’s dance film Sun I was immediately hooked by its tactile, hazy 16mm photography. But as it went on, its message and celebration of everyday routines became the focal point that stayed with me after the credits rolled. What makes Khodnevich’s film so interesting is how she uses dance as a vessel for the cyclical nature of human life, incorporating mechanical movements inspired by daily, mundane activities. This is accompanied by a trance-inducing rhythmic score populated with industrial beats and a twanging guitar that together, with the movements, form a complete and engrossing package. Dn is delighted to premiere Sun alongside a conversation with Khodnevich where she breaks down the journey of the film from a logistical standpoint, the juxtaposition of natural and industrial locations, and the decision to shoot on a 16mm Bolex.
