Description: Dafeena is a site-specific dance for camera film adapting the original work created by Natasha Bakht for the CanAsian International Dance Festival. Shot in an abandoned crystal quarry, two guardians act out a mysterious yet seemingly familiar ancient ritual. This poetic film celebrates the spirit of nature and calls attention to the passage of time through experimentation with light and refracted images.
