SYNPOSIS:

PLAYLIST is a short doc about Neda, a Tongan/Arabic Australian whose body still moves to the dance routines of her first breakout show, PLAYLIST, before it was cancelled. Covid19 came without invitation, but the pause and stillness sparked Neda to question how she can represent her culture when she still has so much to learn. A story about the loss of a performance, but also what can be gained in this shared time of uncertainty.
