A brilliantly filmed version of Achterland, the stunning, adventurous dance work from the avant-garde Belgian choregrapher Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. Unlike many filmed dance pieces, Achterland is directed by De Keersmaeker herself, who brings a choreographer's talent to the camera, reflecting the work's structures and themes in highly developed cinematic form. The original cast was largely reassembled for the film; the piece was adapted to the new medium, with choreographic revisions appropiate to cinematic expression.
