- A personal film about dancing as a plus size woman through the lens of pop culture. A radical and joyful reimagining of awesome dance scenes with the bodies that traditionally get pushed to the back taking up space front and centre.
- After learning to dance on zoom during that time in the pandemic (camera off, obviously), Scottish plus size filmmaker, Sarah Grant, wondered why she spent most of her life thinking dance was not for someone like her. Plus size women are told to hide, to shrink and to disguise the parts considered unsightly and shameful. But dance uses the whole body, even the unsightly bits, to create something beautiful. Big Moves is a personal and reflective story about space, exclusion, and shame. Sarah uses her strongest tool - her work as a filmmaker - to explore how dance in portrayed in film and television, and what that says to aspiring dancers. Touching on areas such as ceilidh, MTV era music videos, romantic dance sequences in film, and burlesque, Big Moves demands romance, whimsy, crushing physicality, and space; all things plus size people are culturally denied.
