YOU’RE DANCING THIS DANCE ALL WRONG
Directed by Cameron Worden • 2021
A discursive, fluid portrait of a loose community shouldering homelessness, drug addiction, and mental illness, You’re Dancing This Dance All Wrong presents an intimate snapshot of life in the fringes of pre-Covid Kansas City, Missouri. Taking a subjective, diaristic approach, filmmaker (and CFS staff member) Cameron Worden assembles a rough-edged, formally adventurous nonfiction hangout film out of super 8 film footage captured on the fly (and blown up to 35mm for exhibition) alongside a dense soundtrack built out of hours of field recordings, presenting a series of often darkly humorous conversations touching on employment frustrations, best filmmaking practices, fast food, and the encroaching threat of gentrification.
68 min • 35mm from Cameron Worden
