Rosas danst Rosas - the 1997 film by Thierry De Mey – is a compelling cinemateographic rendition of the 1984 Rosas choreography. The  editing reinforces the rythmic repetitions of the music and the movements.

Fase (Thierry De Mey, 2002) is based on the first work made by the Belgian dancer and choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. The choreography as well as the film exists of four movements (or phases) danced to the music of the minimalist composer Steve Reich (1936). Each phase is shot in a different location. The performance launched Rosas on the international dance scene in 1982. The film is made twenty years late

In 2011, the ballet of the Parisian Opera performs a choreography of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. For many of the dancers, Rain is their first encounter with dancing a contemporary choreography. The documentary by Olivia Rochette and Gerard-Jan Claes focusses on how De Keersmaeker and the Rosas dancers convey the dance idiom of Rosas to the classically trained ballet dancers.
