#DocsConnect – Conscious Filmmaking

A Wellbeing Session for Film Industry Professionals

PLACE: Åndenes Hus, Amanda Hotel. TIME: Wednesday, August 20th at 20:30–22:00

After years in the fast-paced film world, we’ve learned one thing clearly: our mental and physical wellbeing matters. To keep telling powerful stories, we must also take care of the storytellers—ourselves.

How many times have you felt like this:

“I love my job, but after so many sleepless nights and long, stressful days... I feel like I just can’t go on like this anymore.”

As passionate creatives and film professionals, we pour our hearts into our work—often forgetting that we are our most valuable asset.

That’s why we created the Dancefullness LAB – a space for rest, reconnection, and renewal.

About the Session

A session of mindfulness in movement and creative expression.

You don’t need any previous experience in dance, movement, mindfulness, or conscious leadership practices. All are welcome.
During the session, participants will experience:

Practical tools for stress relief, self-care, and creative recharging—ready to use in your everyday life.
Awareness Through the Body Exercises—exploring how you connect with yourself, your colleagues, and your work. Do you prefer to lead or be led? How do you support yourself and others? A journey in self and social awareness.
5Rhythms® Movement Practice – a dynamic, embodied exploration of rhythm, creativity, and connection.
A seemingly simple structure that invites deep inner discovery—moving beyond limitations into new layers of presence, creativity, and joy.
