Threads is a short dance film conceived and directed by Christine Devaney.

A man enters a dark room disturbing a fragile memory waiting within. Does it belong to him...?  Threads of narrative entwine in this mysterious film, enriched by a haunting sound score.

Those bodies that move now
Unfamiliar to self and others
Other ways too far to see or remember
Only the gift of tenderness, that lies within the hands
A forest of half lit connections
Dreams of spun gold and idolatry
A desire to be whole and held
The past as embers or is it snow?
Still a wonder

Threads is the result of a Choreocraft residency in December 2014, supported by  plan B Collaborative Theatre (Scotland) and Magnetic North Theatre Company (Edinburgh).  Christine Devaney used this time to follow her curiosity about the possibility of making a short film, in a short time, with long standing creative collaborators Karen Tennent and Jonathan Charles. Threads was first presented at Screendance as part of DIG (Dance International Glasgow), Tramway (2014).  Threads was also selected for the Perth Dance Festival - Screendance Awards (2016).
