Discover a dance and music short film that showcases the beauty of the celebrated yet constantly discussed Art Nouveau building, Ostravica-Textilia!

​

This film was created by the Move Ostrava production team in May 2016. Originally, it was intended to be a site-specific performance that the audience would experience in the former department store Ostravica-Textilia during the Move Fest Ostrava 2016 festival. However, experts had a different opinion and refused to let the public enter the dilapidated building. The team was left with no choice but to abandon the idea of performing in this historical landmark. Or was it?

​

Or maybe not! No one wanted to give up the vision of dancers in red retro dresses surrounded by rubble and collapsing beams. Within a few hours, a bold decision was made to shift the approach from theater and site-specific to film, and instead of a live performance, a film was shot. The film's atmosphere will transport you directly to the entrance hall with its iconic stairs, to the time of sandwiches on the counter in the bistro and silk scarves on the shelves.
