From Levitating (Para Perasuk): Crafting Trance on Screen

This panel brings together the director and ensemble cast of Levitating (Para Perasuk), premiering in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition at the Sundance Film Festival 2026. The conversation explores trance as both a lived experience and a cinematic language. Through reflections on performance, sound, rhythm, and embodiment, the panel examines how altered states are translated to the screen. Grounded in the creative process behind Levitating, the discussion looks at how collective movement and presence function as storytelling tools, opening up deeper questions of identity, vulnerability, and human connection.
