‘Printemps 22’, by film director & choreographer Sagí Amir Gros, presents a sensitive observation of the Parisian Jewish Ukrainian, Russian ballerina Laura Fridman. Gros interviewed Fridman and wrote a script based on her life story. The film exposes her intimate fragility, set against the background of the Ukrainian / Russian war. The camera movements are choreographed around the ballerina, to give the spectators a poetic personal story. The film is part of Gross's artistic philosophy 'Physical Script', a personal approach to merge interdisciplinary film & stage works into a unique cinematic experience.
