This Silence is a short documentary film following dancer and choreographer Gentian Doda.
It tells his story on and off the stage, through experience and emotion, and a quiet look at the New York City streets.
“Dance is how I express myself. Other artists express themselves by way of painting, music, or acting. I express myself through the expression of the body.” — Gentian Doda
