For on the Floor (An Ode to the Cyclical)

BOSSY: An Ode To Women in Street Dance
The term “bossy” is often used to shame women in charge, however this is a film that commands RESPECT. BOSSY celebrates women in street dance who have kept the culture alive - featuring an all women cast & crew.

In collaboration with Vancouver Street Dance Association 

Presented in Partnership with The Dance Centre


Join us in celebrating local and national street dance artists and their endeavours into movement-on-screen.


This is a retrospective screening of street dance-centred films that have screened at FORM over the past 10 years. Each film creatively explores the unique ways that street dances such as hip hop, locking, w*acking, and breaking can interact with the camera. These films act as a living archive of street dance in Canada, commemorating the culture and people who shape the community. 


Three friends hang out to watch dance videos, snack, and vibe. When there's only one candy left, one heads to the bathroom while the other two break into a playful dance battle for the final treat. Just as things heat up, the third friend returns, totally unaware, and casually grabs the candy for himself. Told entirely through movement, this lighthearted short is a funky tribute to street dance, especially Campbellocking, inspired by the iconic style, humour, and spirit of The Lockers.
