Buzz is spreading about our Kinetic Cinema program tonight featuring Dance Animation picks by Doug Fox, founder and blogger of Great Dance. I’ve been lucky enough to get some advance peeks and can attest that each of the seventeen short works being shown tonight is more beautiful and jaw-dropping than the next. It’s a smorgasbord of delights for the visual and kinetically inclined…

But don’t take my word for it. Here’s what some other folks are saying:

Amber Dawn Connors interviews Doug Fox about his program on Dancing on the Edge.

Claudia La Rocco admits she’s actually hopeful and excited about seeing a “dance for the camera” program on WNYC’s ART.CULT blog.

Taylor Gordon, a young, spitfire dance writer recommends you come out tonight on her Off Center blog.

Even the animation industry is taking notice! Check out this post on the ASIFA-East Exposure Sheet blog…

Up-date 2/11 at 12:55pm – Here’s a post by The Urgent Artist’s Sarah A.O. Rosner. I think she really captures the essence of what I’m trying to do with Kinetic Cinema here, which is a great validation!

Last but not least, here are all the details to go:

Kinetic Cinema is a screening series of Pentacle’s Movement Media project that happens on the second Wednesday of each month at Chez Bushwick. Exploring the intersection of dance and the moving image, Anna Brady Nuse, project director of Pentacle’s Movement Media, invites a special guest from the dance and film communities to share films and videos that have inspired them. These could be films that feature dance, are kinetic-based, or have been influential on their work in some way.

I’m really excited to share with you a preview of Doug Fox’s up-coming screening program at Kinetic Cinema. Doug Fox is a blogger and publishes the dance blog, Great Dance (where Move the Frame started!). This past summer he began studying all forms of animation, especially as they relate to dance and movement. For his screening on Wednesday February 11th at Chez Bushwick he’ll be showing over fifteen clips from video and film animations, that show how directors, artists, choreographers and dancers have used different animation and video editing techniques to capture, illustrate and transform human movement.

Below is an excellent multi-media guide to his program that Doug posted on Great Dance last week. Date, time, location, and ticket info is at the bottom of this post.
