A Story, An Invocation, An Opening is a short experimental documentary-fiction by Rhiana Bonterre, that conjures a sensorial ritual of sound and movement, through the stories our bodies hold and the spectres they manifest. The film's Global Majority collaborators embody intuitive movement and dance as a vessel for uncovering and confronting the things silent or forgotten, raging or ablaze, that sit inside their bodies. Blending Caribbean sonic rhythms, somatic sounds and archival footage from Trinidad carnival, the film becomes an offering for audiences to reckon with the stories their own bodies may carry.


Can our hauntings act as portals for different ways of sensing, knowing, navigating? What can the act of moving our bodies ignite and open—about ourselves, the histories we're implicated in, and the more-than-human worlds we're entangled with?

In the installation, the film will be screened within time-slots, where an opportunity for the audience to respond to the film's invocations will be presented.

The film will be screened as part of the degree show at Central Saint Martins on Monday 16th June.
