Synopsis

Michalsky was commissioned by Jobel Art for Earth association as one of the four choreographers in Canada to make a dance film for their project Transformations. Michalsky created Haven, a film that researches and discusses renewable resources and climate change.

The film plays between memories and past experiences, present and future. It questions: Why are we still here? Both now in the present time, but also in the future of humankind. In the film, the characters repeat this statement as they are trapped in a compound with the inability to go outside.

This is not our last word, but our last world

There’s still hope

To keep living

To have a future

To have a real future
