More than you think uses movement as a metaphor for the subconscious, playing with the duality between everyday gestures and their choreographic counterparts. In slow motion, the camera reveals a female figure caught in a web of thoughts, searching for a balance between bodily discipline and the full enjoyment of movement. The film explores the invisible, inner dimensions of the dancer—the state of being completely immersed in movement, and at the same time the struggle to stop overthinking before moving. What, after all, is hidden behind a single dance gesture?

1 minute of looking beneath the surface.
