Popsicle

Popsicle is a riotous celebration of the female gaze. A brightly expressive homage to strength, power, and rage, challenging the typical depiction of women in dance and cinema. Shot at over 1000 frames per second on the Phantom camera, the film captures infinitesimal moments of ferocity and grace that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye.
