DESCRIPTION OF THE FILM:

"Sector" is an Environmental Protest Butoh Dance Immersive Video, recorded in the 360-degree technique. The film shows the destruction of nature on the Vistula Spit, and through the butoh dance it tries to convey the emotions which accompany to this destruction.

„Sector" is an artistic impression of controversial man made transformation of landscape and biotop which is expressed by button dance, immersive 360 degrees video with suggestive sound design and original music.

Shooting the film „Sector" took place in September 2019, in the nature reserve forest on the narrowest section of the Vistula Spit, on the Baltic Sea coast, which in February 2019 was in few days stripped of 10 thousand trees.This area is dedicated for digging the shipping channel, which according to most specialists will not have any significant economic utility, but it will cause huge losses for local nature and tourism.

The Sector - as we look at it - the ground is just the ground. The sun warms it, as it warms the rest of the forest around, only trees are gone. They took away most of them, but there are still some left. The Sector determines itself - the trees on both sides end abruptly, as they were cut with a knife. Here, the wind is blowing differently, it would seem it is the same one, from the sea. The Sector is easiest to reach from the asphalt road. Asphalt is even, smooth, and there are those hills, you have to go between them, climb them. You see them from the road, they stand, they invite. They marked it all the way to the sea, to the point where you can admire the sun setting over the bay. Oh, here is the Valley of Despair, and here is the Field of Bones, and here the Skull Hill.

The Sector does not ask if you are good or bad, it shows the way. The path we are all taking now, where it leads - you see it, you’ll know. The Sector is a place scarred with greenery, maybe it will heal, maybe by itself, or maybe with help, or maybe not at all...
