Episode 4: Grief, Dance, and the Stories We Carry

In this episode of Ten Short Films Podcast, Tara Mühlberghuber continues the filmmaker conversations with Laurie Caron,  Thomas Hinse, and Hanna Brennan-Bacon, exploring how grief, memory, family, and emotional restraint can shape a film from the inside out.The discussion moves between two deeply personal creative approaches: one filmmaker reflects on grief through the story of a teacher, a child, and a parent confronting expectations, while another speaks about using dance, movement, and music to express the loss of a mother without relying on words.Together, they discuss performance, childhood memory, teaching, family relationships, choreography, golden-hour cinematography, long takes, and the delicate process of turning lived experience into cinema.
