"Circle", is an analogy between the modern human being, living in mass cities, and the phenomenon of the circle of death - a phenomenon observed in nature with ants who are separated from the main foraging party and lose the pheromone track. They begin to follow one another, forming a continuously rotating circle, ominously known as a "death spiral."

Shot in Mexico City by director Phillip Kaminiak, this vibrant and impressive city is a protagonist, symbolizing a life in endless high-speed movement and the humans who are dedicating their lives to endless movement, and self-exhaustion in a modern capitalistic-based world.

This short film was part of a previous San Francisco Dance Film Festival season. Tune in this October to see select films from the 2024 festival.
