Synopsis
The second chapter in a series of portraits of outstanding dance artists by Montréal-based filmmaker George Stamos, SNAP, Zab’s Story offers a glimpse toward the life-affirming philosophy of acclaimed dancer Zab Maboungou. Guided by her enduring belief in “keeping on keeping on,” the film brings together movement, rhythm, humour and Zab’s reflections to reveal a deeply human vision of perseverance, generosity and presence. Playful and contemplative, SNAP weaves dynamic visual collage into an intimate portrait of an artist whose wisdom resonates far beyond dance.
Directed by
George Stamos is an award-winning, multi-talented Montréal-based dance and film artist whose poetic, transdisciplinary works explore themes of resilience, resistance, play, and transformation. George works seamlessly across the Surreal-Experimental, LGBTQ+ Cinema, Dance-film, Road Movie, and Documentary and contemporary dance genres, bridging the poetic, the philosophical, and the political. His film and performance works channel an intuitive, embodied storytelling, where the person is both a valued library of experience and a site of incantation, infusing the ordinary with a sense of magic.
