Vampires, men with strange glasses and youths with an appetite for travel.
The theme for this year's DanceFestival Barents is Dance on film. In celebration of this The Museum for Reconstruction will host a film café. Dance films with dance as the main theme will be shown three nights during the festival week. The film café will be a funny, serious, experimental and different event - and you are bound to see something you haven't seen before. Film can be almost anything, and this film café will show the spectre and possibilities of dance on film and video.

Sunday the 25th of March at 8 p.m. the first film café kicks off with the blue as its theme. The films this evening are dark, mysterious and melancholic. Filmmaker and choreographer Lise Eger will open the night talking about her film Veien ut (The road out).
Monday the 26th of March at 9 p.m. we are set for a green evening. This evening we focus on nature, the body and technique. Among other films, we will show the film Biegga savkala ahte duoddariid duohken lea soames (The wind whispers there is someone behind the tundras) by Elle Sofe Henriksen and Ken Are Bongo from Kautokeino. Festival artist Trine Saltermark will also talk about her films.
Wednesday 28th of March at 6 p.m. is a red evening. Hatred, love and desire is the centre of this night, where filmmaker Guro Rugstad Jenssen will come to talk about her two films One heart four legs and Flicker Fuse. One heart four legs is a documentary about the passion of Argentinean tango.
After the film café Wednesday 28th of March at 7pm a panel will start an open discussion about the challenges and possibilities with dance on film and video.
It will be possible to purchase wine at the film café.
