Over a period of two years, filmmaker Kim El Ouardi and visual artist Nora Wagner have captured the creative process of a group of dancers during the creation of their new piece.All along the movie, four very different people, sharing the love for street-dance, expose their individual and their collective research around identity, work, culture, gender and everything else that makes a person who they are.
Moitié Moi seeks to capture the complexity of society by blurring the boundaries between fiction and documentary. Using the subjectivity of the eye, it combines realism and imaginary scenes. By highlighting the power of dance and its universal language, the directors raise the individual and collective difficulties we face every day in finding our place within society.
Born in Luxembourg, Nora Wagner studied applied arts in Montpellier before working in advertising in Berlin. After acquiring skills in welding, carpentry, set design, various printing techniques and the art of survival, she returned to academic studies. She joined the IPN artists’ collective and has since worked as an independent nomadic artist in search of a utopian form of creation. Her work has won awards including the Edward Steichen Prize and the French Ministry of Culture’s Artistic Innovation Award
Born in 1989, Kim El Ouardi is originally from Luxembourg and Morocco. He studied motion graphics in Berlin, then worked as a cameraman in documentary, cine-dance and experimental cinema. Through a wide variety of projects, he has deepened his knowledge of audiovisual production: from pre-production to finishing, including shooting, lighting, VFX and color grading. He draws his inspiration from distant travels, but also from observing his surroundings and everyday life
