Departures tells the story of Giralda, an undertaker who accompanies deceased human beings into their afterlife. Interpreted with the means of Spanish flamenco dance and music, and set at an old East German ship canal lift, the film creates an associative fusion between Northern and Southern Europe, movement and silence, farewell and eternity.

After three decades of hiding his feminine impulses, renowned Spanish dancer Manuel Liñán comes out to challenge convention by pursuing his love of performing flamenco - dressed as a woman.

SULPHUR (short version) is a dance movie by Andrea Leine & Harijono Roebana (choreography) and Jellie Dekker (filmdirector).The film was realised in 2000. Music: Martijn Padding, set decorator: Rudi Luijters.

The film consists of an epilogue, three scenes, and a prologue which were filmed on different locations, ending in the Teylers Museum, Haarlem.

The choreography was largely inspired by the films’ locations, as was the cinematography. The score was created using samples of set recordings combined with instrumental improvisations. In every scene the four elements (choreography, camera, music, location) have a different concept, but subsequently mix together to create a specific atmosphere centred around the color of sulphur.

Three people tormented by relentless anxiety and prolonged sleeplessness, slowly lose their human forms. As their condition worsens, they evolve into monsters, doomed to an eternity without rest.

After Whim makes it through an unconventional audition for the dance piece Syncope, the choreographer remains unsatisfied with her full commitment. But what she and the other dancers experience in rehearsals is only a glimpse of the dark vision he will impose on them.
