Dance With Me (CA 1997; 9') .
.
Style: Drama
Director: Cassandra Nicolaou
Main Cast: Anne Anglin (Mother), Mary Christo (Baba), Erin McMurtry (Young Woman/Narrator), Teri Sota (Female Body), Maria Popoff (Whisper Narration)
Working in an impressionist and lyrical style, filmmaker Nicolaou combines a visual collage with freestyle story-telling to draw upon experiences of coming-to-terms with her mother’s multiple sclerosis and the lack of acceptance of homosexuality in her Macedonian family. The film’s metaphorical invitation to dance becomes a call to communicate, to celebrate and, ultimately, to accept.
