- Juliette Binoche is making her directorial debut with In‑I In Motion, a vérité‑style documentary that premiered at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
- In‑I In Motion documents a six‑month collaboration between Binoche and British contemporary dancer Akram Khan, showing intense rehearsals and scenes where she is repeatedly flung against a wall.
- Akram Khan partnered with Binoche on a series of daring, avant‑garde dance performances that blend contemporary dance with theatrical storytelling.
- MoMA held a sold‑out screening where Binoche introduced the film and warned viewers it would not “hold your hand” through its poetic, nonlinear structure.
Why it matters: Juliette Binoche gains a debut directing platform, while MoMA draws a sold‑out crowd, boosting ticket revenue and exposing contemporary dance to a broader audience worldwide.
