01 / Ciné
A Company E practice
For more than two decades, Company E has made films that preserve movement, cross borders, encounter communities, and become works of art in their own right.
Ciné is where choreography meets the lens—a home for dance films, experimental works, MicroDocs, and the moving-image stories that expand our stage.
