This week’s webdance showcases Neue Films, a group of filmmakers and graphic designers based in New York City. This music video, “Fire to the Ground” by The Forms, features a Busby Berkeley-esque moving crane shot of dancers gesturing explosions, fire, and gun shooting while dressed in vibrant red costumes.

This week’s webdance features Aaron Buckley, a talented filmmaker from the United Kingdom.  His screen dance, Beautiful Illusion illustrates a professional ballerina as she gracefully moves across the empty space of an art gallery.  With her perfect silhouette and defined muscles, this dancer explores just how beautiful calmness and emptiness can be while experiencing the pain and beauty of dance.  This screendance was submitted for the 60secondsdance.dk competition along with other brilliant works.  Beautiful Illusion was also showcased at the Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema in Colorado, USA.

Mitchell Rose and Bebe Miller, a successful filmmaker and a renowned choreographer are collaborating together to create a unique dance film project (Globe Trot)  that will include individuals from every nation.  These two creators want to crowd-source the filming of Globe Trot by having filmmakers send Mitchell their 2 second footage of Bebe’s choreography.  Mitchell will then edit the footage into a world-wide dance film.

Coming up next at Kinetic Cinema, our friend Kat Green will present an evening of films that follow the path of a dance filmmaker turning into a pyromaniac sculptor, and the unlikely ways that those things relate to one another. Starting with the challenges of color, light, and camera movement, Kat Green found herself going down a rabbit hole of cause and effect, leading her to play with the ideas of telling a story through minutia, cadence, and finally making inanimate objects dance.

Kat Green has been working in film, video, and live event production since 1997, and building interactive art since 2006. In that time, she has created documentaries, music videos, short films, web series, and visual art with the goals of finding untold stories, playing with physics, and generally making pretty things to look at.
