“You are allowed to give this video a name” is an abstract, experimental dance film from Chinese directors Fan Min, Yang Xiaoxiao, and Luo Yu of Ruhe Dance Theatre. The film moves as a collage of striking, unresolved imagery, held together less by narrative than by rhythm and instinct. At its center is a dancer whose commanding presence pulls focus through each shifting frame. A compelling, atmospheric score threads throughout, shaping the film’s mood as much as the movement itself. Resisting fixed meaning, the film leaves its title, and its interpretation, open to whoever is watching.
