Featuring

Conclave Clandestine

A dance of attachment, loss and the fragile return to the self.

As bodies intertwine and resist, Conclave Clandestine follows the emotional and physical tension of two people who become enmeshed, gradually confusing dependency for devotion. The film inhabits that unstable threshold where intimacy can dissolve into surrender.

The work then turns toward reclamation: the fragile attempt to separate, to remember the self, and to recover what has been surrendered in the name of connection.

Awarded for sensitive direction, conceptual clarity and the power of movement on screen.
