The documentary uses unseen archives from her 2008 work with Akram Khan to probe artistic risk, physical strain, cross‑disciplinary exchange.

Overview

  • In‑I In Motion had its world premiere at the San Sebastian International Film Festival, which runs September 19–27, 2025.
  • Binoche told reporters Robert Redford urged her in a dressing‑room encounter to make a film from the stage piece, a memory she shared days after his death at 89.
  • The film revisits the 2008 BinocheAkram Khan collaboration using archival rehearsal material and a complete stage recording, with no voiceover or interviews.
  • Variety notes a 156‑minute runtime and a two‑part structure that moves from months of studio preparation to the finished performance.
  • Asked about current events, Binoche affirmed signing an open letter calling for a boycott of the Israeli film industry and said artists should seek communication and truth.
