Imprinted is an intimate and cinematic journey into the world of choreographer JoAnna Mendl Shaw, whose pioneering work with dancers and horses transcends traditional boundaries of movement. Through intimate moments and breathtaking landscapes, the film explores a choreographic language rooted in trust, listening, and interspecies connection, inviting us to reconsider how we relate to animals, to each other, and to ourselves.
