On September 26, at the Splendid Palace cinema, a meeting with the legendary director Joss Stelling.

Dutch cinema classic will present his latest film to the audience in a special screening. "Natasha's Dance" and will answer the questions of the audience.

His new film – an exquisite fresco, visual poetry, directly aimed at the viewer's heart, similar to everything else in his creative works – embodies a meditative message about love and loneliness, about human intimacy, meaning of life and absurdity.

, This is my last and very personal film! It is woven from the depths of emotional memories, experienced and hidden in the labyrinths of memories. In it I have laid bare the greatest secrets of my soul ... A lot of entangled paths ..." Joss Stellings

NATAŠA'S DANCE

"The world is unfair and cruel, but somewhere there lives a beautiful girl, who dances wonderfully. One day, Dantier, when you meet her and fall in love, everything will change."

This sickly disturbing promise, which his mother gave him as a child, has helped him through the saddest moments of his life, until he finally met her.

He couldn't explain to himself how, but suddenly, completely unexpectedly, he clearly understood that he had been waiting for this woman all his life! This simple former dancer, who surprised not so much with her beauty and grace, but with an unusual loneliness in her eyes that had never been seen before.

What will this unusual gift of fate turn into for him: will it be a reward or another test?

Surrendered by the rapid course of events, overwhelmed by new feelings and uncontrollable desires, our hero does not notice the clouds gathering above his head.

The past and the present combine in a passionate dance, and in this rapidly pulsating rhythm it is difficult to maintain balance, but it's worth the risk - while the music is playing and someone is hugging you...

Joss Stellings is one of the most important independent directors in the world of art house cinema, who has created a unique style that successfully combines poetry, music and painting.

"Natasha's Dance" - a work of art, a powerful masterpiece, a tribute to auteur cinema, which the film director has gradually cultivated and perfected in his creation.

The director's handwriting remains here too - a minimum dialogue, brilliant acting, halftones and subtexts that leave the audience room for free fantasy and reflection.

With this film, the director says goodbye to his viewers.
