Potlatch

Potlatch is an experimental short documentary about a dance festival that takes place in a US prison, Hudson Correctional Facility in Co,. Once a year the prisoners are allowed to put on a traditional Potlatch festival. Potlatch technically means 'gift'. Here the inmates give art works, and express themselves through dance. The dances are self choreographed by the inmates, and the accompanying live music recorded for the film is performed by prisoners as well. Potlatch is designed to be a two channel film installation but can also be shown on split screen.
