LUXURY MEMORIES

Discover a dance and music short film that shows the beauty of the award-winning but constantly underrated Art Nouveau building Ostravica-Textilia!

This film was created by the Move Ostrava production team in May 2016. It was originally supposed to be a site-specific movement performance that the audience was supposed to see in the building of the former Ostravica-Textilia department store during the Move Fest Ostrava 2016 festival. However, experts had a different opinion and refused to let the public into the dilapidated building. So the team had no choice but to abandon the idea of dancing in this historical monument. Or?

Or not! No one wanted to give up the idea of dancers in red retro dresses surrounded by rubble and crumbling roofs. So within a few hours, a bold decision was made in the midst of the MOVE Fest festival to completely change the thinking from theatrical and site-specific to cinematic and instead of a performance, to shoot a film. Its atmosphere will transport you directly to the entrance hall with the iconic stairs, to the time of sandwiches on the counters in the bistro and silk scarves on the shelves.
