Dance film meets heart-rending personal journey tale in Over My Dead Body, the confronting story of dancer Dave St Pierre. Cystic fibrosis has forced Dave to retreat to choreography while he awaits a double lung transplant. Through choreography he can express the agonising emotions of an existence measured by a ticking clock, and he creates raw, complex, and controversial works that delve deeply into mortality and the frailty and strength of the human body. Filmmaker and friend Brigitte Poupart accompanies Dave on the excruciating two-year wait for a transplant, capturing every false start and moment of uncertainty and hovering around the ever-present question – will he survive?
