>>> A film to watch in Block 6. Dreams and Desires
On a slow, rainy night in a neon-lit strip club in the center of Helsinki, four dancers find themselves with more glitter than guests. Dancers Only is a slice-of-life short film that peels back the rhinestones to reveal the real — a night of stillness where nothing happens, and yet everything does. A love letter to friendship, femininity, and the in-between spaces where identity, performance, and the mundane blur.
