Shadowy corridors, truncated memories, haunted visions and a classic song set the scene for Kate Harpootlian’s directorial debut dance short Anyone Who Knows. Harpootlian had long envisioned the film in her mind’s eye set against Irma Thomas’ affecting timbre and upon finding the perfect location the rest of the production flowed naturally. Her choreography seamlessly matches the beats of the song whilst revealing an agonised tormented soul tortured by memories. Anyone Who Knows balances softer more nostalgic scenes with stark inner turmoil and skilfully evokes a lifetime of emotion and lives lived in its compact six minute runtime. Ahead of the film’s premiere on Dn today, we spoke to Harpootlian about why she feels less is more when choreographing movement, creating night and day in the same shot and her experience with notoriously complicated music licensing rights.
