SYNOPSIS
At the end of a dying world, two scavengers are running out of options. When they find a way out, one doesn't hesitate to take what she can. But when faced with her victim, she has to decide if her survival is what’s most important.
ABOUT THE FILM
Our team is mostly made up of women, including women of color and disabled women. We all worked together to build and share a story of desperation, suffering and longing that ends with hope and wonder. What sets Vultures apart is the perfect counterbalance between narrative storytelling and movement. In the same way that each word in a well-written script has a specific purpose, each movement in Vultures drives the plot and evolution of the characters forward. Pairing seasoned narrative filmmakers with world-class choreographers and dancers created something that stands out among both dance films and narrative shorts
