Project Overview

In this project, we experiment with multiple layers of creative expression, where the feeling of doubt — metaphorically called “Café Le Doute” — opens its doors inside a person’s consciousness every time a difficult decision has to be made. Here, our characters — embodiments of dark thoughts such as Anger, Fear, Envy, and others — begin to gather in the café to share their opinions, debating whether the answer should be yes or no.

What if your moments of doubt had a place… a real place?
A tiny café hidden deep inside your consciousness, where your darkest thoughts gather to argue your next move.
Welcome to "Café Le Doute" — a dance-film comedy where choreography, cinema, and psychology meet over a cup of uncertainty.

Cafe Le Doute is a short dance-film comedy that transforms the feeling of doubt into an imaginative world of movement, character, and humor.
Every time a difficult decision approaches, a crooked little café lights up in the far corners of consciousness — and all the “dark thoughts” begin to arrive: Fear, Anger, Anxiety, Pride, Shame, Envy, and Insecurity.
Each one brings its own physicality, its own logic, its own dance.
Blending choreography, acting, and cinematic storytelling, this project pushes the boundaries of dance film. Each character is built through a unique movement language and performed in a surreal, handmade set that amplifies their emotional world. The film balances precise movement design with comedy, and the visual style reminiscent of theatrical cinema.
Created by choreographer and filmmaker Dmitry Khamzin, whose previous dance films have been selected by multiple international festivals, "Café Le Doute" invites viewers to step inside the mind during its most vulnerable moment: the moment of deciding “yes or no.” It is playful, thoughtful, and deeply human — a tribute to the chaotic beauty of the emotional landscape we all share.
By supporting this project, you help bring an original choreographic vision to life, supporting dancers, filmmakers, and artists who dedicate their craft to exploring movement in new and daring forms.
Your contribution goes directly toward the completion of the film: post-production, sound design, editing, and artist compensation.
If you love dance, cinema, and innovative artistic storytelling, Café Le Doute is a project worth helping into the world.

My passion & curiosity for choreography and filmmaking has led me to create another project — one where I wanted to push the dancers’ unique skills to a new level of expression through a comedic, choreographic acting production titled “Café Le Doute.”
