Catching Spirits | Dance meets Horror in this Haunting Short Film
Since childhood, Destiny's been told she has seizures when she dances. What she doesn’t know, is that she has an ancient ability - a birthright of the Haitian women in her lineage. Tormented by voices in her head, calling her to “test the waters” she's challenged to face her fear and dance, making a decision that could reveal a secret. Will dancing kill her or unlock something magical?

"Blending the dance film with elements of the horror/thriller genre is a combination not often seen in the world of shorts, or features, but Beletic makes it look effortless, her film constantly gripping and hugely entertaining. However, the fusion of these filmmaking approaches wasn't coincidental, the director gave plenty of thought to why she would include them, explaining that she wanted to' provoke some thought by using genre tropes and repositioning them to be more mystical and evocative VS scary just to be scary'." - S/W Curator, Rob Munday
