Artist Collection #4: Mouvement Perpétuel
Mouvement Perpétuel is a Montreal-based, award-winning independent production company specializing in film, video, and new media with a focus on dance. Co-founded and co-directed by Marlene Millar and Philip Szporer in 2001, the company is known for its impressionistic dance-media films, documentaries, and multi-channel installations that explore choreography and offer compelling portraits of contemporary dancers and choreographers across Canada, Québec, and internationally.
Over the past 25 years, they have cultivated a distinctive practice within the genre of screendance—also known as dance for camera—merging choreography, cinematography, and sound into unified, expressive works. Their projects often embrace hybrid forms and cross-cultural dialogue, exploring themes of identity, environment, and the poetics of the body in motion. Millar and Szporer continue to expand the possibilities of screendance through both independent and commissioned work, creating films that resonate with audiences around the world.
