Kinetic Cinema Starts up Feb 4th with Dance On Camera Extended
Kinetic Cinema at CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing)
“Dance On Camera Extended”
presented in conjunction with CRS and the Dance Films Association
Saturday February 4th, 7pm
$10 Reservations
Every year, the Dance Films Association’s Dance on Camera Festival showcases films that highlight the relationship between movement and cinema. Hundreds of submissions are received, but only a few are able to be screened. For this special program we have selected some of our favorites that were not able to be shown this year, and will screen them as part of our first Kinetic Cinema event of 2012.
Program:
Let’s Dance, dir. Malia Bruker & Oscar Mollina
Let’s Dance is a sensual black and white film that captures the relief that art provides in everyday life. The couple’s physicality changes, senses are heightened, and passion aroused when leaving the mundane and joining one another in dance.
Head First, dir. & chor. Jody Oberfelder
Jody Oberfelder uses physical imagination and wit in Head First, showcasing a playful, colorful and acrobatic crash helmet brigade under the Manhattan Bridge.
For Water, dir. Natalie Metzger
A collaboration between dancers from Indonesia and America, For Water is inspired by the importance of water to the islands of Indonesia and to water-starved California. The film follows a pilgrimage of five spirits to a sacred place to perform their ritual for water.
Chromatic Revelry, dir. Evann Siebens
Chromatic Revelry juxtaposes the harmonic scale of J.S. Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier with the chaos of rave culture. Shot on Super 8 film in clubs and at raves, the piece is transhistorical, suggesting a timelessness to parties, celebration and dance.
Country Club, dir. Noa Shadur
Israeli choreographer Noa Shadur creates a modern musical parody in Country Club, capturing the possibility of adventure on what could be the most ordinary of days.

Dance On Camera Festival Lineup Announced
En Dedans, Gabrielle Lamb
New Yorkers and dance film-lovers from around the world look forward to the Dance On Camera Festival each year. For the past 40 years, this annual festival has been the central anchor and source for new dance on film. The 40th edition of the Dance On Camera Festival will take place from January 27-31 at the Walter Reade Theater as well as the new Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center at Lincoln Center.
While we at Move the Frame tend to focus primarily on dance made for the screen, the festival’s programmers have always made an effort to encompass the vast range of styles and genre’s that make up dance film. “We try to reach far and wide to find films that connect dance and camera in ways that will surprise and inspire viewers to deepen their interest in both mediums,” says Joanna Ney, co-curator of the festival. “This year’s selection offers a diversity of subject, style and genre aimed at the traditionalist as well as the iconoclast.”
Dance enthusiasts will find many documentaries about dance luminaries such as Natalia Makarova and Robert Wilson, historic dance presenters and companies such as Jacob’s Pillow, the Joffrey Ballet, and Pilobolus, and innovative choreographer Wayne McGregor. Film enthusiasts will enjoy innovative shorts by inspired directors such as Clara Van Gool, Pontus Lidberg, and New York’s own Jody Oberfelder.
In another post we’ll share with you our personal picks for the festival, but for now, go to DFA and the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s websites to see the full lineup, as well as schedule and ticket information.
