An Unholy Dance
2026-03-25 · 7 min · Not rated
Every winter, a small town in Castilla-La Mancha called Luzón transforms into a little hell. Its inhabitants, dressed as devils, venture into the darkness and roam its streets with horns, bells, and smeared with soot. Una dança non sancta could have been just an anthropological documentary. Instead, it delves into the inferno with the town’s residents to participate in and immortalize this unholy ritual.

Sam Coomes’ flawless score provides stunning sonic context for the happy ending of the Oregon nuclear skyline. The film is an effective prescription in prevention of politically-triggered anxiety and depression in post-modern Cascadia.

Part seven of cycle "The Requiem Films". “I imagine that almost everyone who has come across this piece is familiar with the phrase ‘in illo tempore’. In illo tempore—in that time. […] Let’s pause for a moment on ‘tempore’. Let’s consider, as laypeople might, what part of the original phrase this is. Of course, it is technically ‘time.’ [..] When an extra letter ‘a’ appeared in my mind—which has a tendency to complicate all sorts of concepts to the limit—it completely changed the perspective of everything. ‘aTempore’ was born. What did that mean to me? If ‘tempore’ is, theoretically, ‘(at) that time,’ then ‘aTempore’ would mean ‘non-time.’ Now we have ‘That Non-Time.’ Does this mean we should think of time that has stopped? Or perhaps of different spaces, sensations? […]” - as the introductionary note to the movie says.
