Kitschy and confrontational, this dance short is a darkly playful take on the dynamics of seeing and being seen.

In “Twenty,” a young homeless ballet dancer is pushed to the brink in life and dance. The film follows Emily through alternating moments of grace and grit: in the ballet studio through the course of a potentially life-changing audition, and in the streets as she struggles to find somewhere to sleep. Emily’s nervy dedication helps her to navigate challenges and hardship to find joy in her dancing, no matter the outcome.
