The Story Behind Red Fate

​

Red Fate reimagines the Japanese legend of the Red String of Fate through dance and cinema. Set in Moncalvo, Italy, the film follows a woman caught in an imbalanced relationship, exploring themes of entanglement, loss of self, and the resilience found in reclaiming balance. Blending movement, myth, and modern partnership, Red Fate is a meditation on fate, female empowerment, and the quiet strength of choosing freedom over control.

Before becoming a director, Natasha Mynhier was a dancer and choreographer as a young adult. She loves working with world renowned performers to bring incredible beautiful feats of strength, texture, rhythm and athleticism to the screen. Dance is such a visceral art form, she tries to weave in a dance film into her schedule each year to enjoy the challenge of capturing dynamic movement.

For this film, choreographer Hiroki Ichinose and Natasha won a residency at the stunning Orsolina 28 foundation. As a part of the residency and with the support of Chanel, this film was brought to life and shot in the mountains of Moncalvo, Italy.
