Clearing takes flight!
It’s not often that a dance film makes it into the aviation industry entertainment system! Karen's film Clearing, has been chosen to screen on all UK Virgin Atlantic flights. This initiative is part of Women Over Fifty Film Festival (UK) WOFFF Dementia Friendly inflight entertainment programme. Clearing was shot during a lush Canadian snowfall on a melancholic day in 2020 at the Kaeja Creative Incubator. Karen is the director, performer, editor and camera.
"A beautiful dance with nature in troubled times. Exciting use of transitions, filters and cuts. A pleasure to watch." WOFFF Jury Member.
