Speaking the Language
Eunice Faye Dionisio (Calgary, AB) YOUTH
Vancouver Premiere
Duration: 2:35
In Ballroom, Vogue movement is a language. We communicate with each other through the intricacies of our hands and the techniques we learned from our teachers in Ballroom. Storytelling is a huge part of it all and is used to connect to your peers and competitors, creating a community that allows for intimacy and togetherness.

F-O-R-M is based in so-called Vancouver, in what is colonially known as Canada, on the unceded and stolen traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. F-O-R-M continues to reflect on and bring attention to connection to bodies, land and movement through filmmaking, documentation and storytelling. We are grateful to share and witness these stories together while inspiring movement towards positive change, wherever you may be.
