Directed by

United States

Set against a majestic outdoor rock wall, "JINSHAN: Seams of Gold" is a site-specific vertical dance film that reimagines gravity as a partner in storytelling. Harnessing the power of rock climbing technology, dancers are lifted into the air—not just to defy gravity, but to awaken a sense of flight, freedom, and deep connection. Suspended in space, they soar, tumble, and reach across stone surfaces, turning sheer rock into a canvas for memory, imagination, and transformation.

Inspired by the courage, creativity, and resilience of ancestors and elders, "JINSHAN" honors the strength it takes to rise—literally and metaphorically. As bodies float and cling, release and return, the film evokes a sense of wonder and reflection, expanding what we believe is possible when we move together. This is a dance of flight, of legacy, and of the golden seams that bind us through time and across space.
