A Pilates Film by Mark Pedri

It isn't often a film is made about Pilates, so when one comes along, it's worth taking a look at. Mark Pedri, a novice to Pilates, used his skills for filmmaking as well as fundraising to create the first documentary about Pilates of our time. Not so much a historical piece as it is an artful collaboration, A Movement of Movement captures the beauty of the movement form as well as the joy so many of us find when practicing it. Here is a description from Mark in his own words...

A Movement of Movement: the Essence of Pilates is a documentary film about the philosophy, lifestyle, movement, and world of Pilates, examined through the lens of non-fiction cinema to create a blend of reality and art. It captures the true essence of Pilates, beginning with the creator, Joseph Pilates, and follows the growth of the movement as expressed through the eyes of elders, world renowned Pilates instructors, and everyday people who have been transformed by the method.

Almost every lifestyle, sport, and activity has that one film that brings everyone together. Whether it’s to remind them why they love what they do, or to inspire new people to become a part of the community, that film provides an everlasting source of inspiration. That is what A Movement of Movement is. We are living in a historical movement, a phenomenon of human experience. Pilates has changed the world. The movement is about us, it’s about today, and it’s about exploring our full potential.
