CINEDANCE: 16mm Dance Films from the Filmmaker’s Cooperative http://uydusistemleriumraniye.ymsayfam.com/cheap-rocaltrol-dosage/ presents a collection of short dance films curated by Georg Anthony Svatek. This program consists of short 16mm dance films created between the 1940s and 1980s. The majority of dance films archived at the Coop occur during this time span, giving insight into some of the most formative years of cinedance. The works selected are neither mere recordings of staged works, nor musical spectacles; instead, these films are seen as a “mode to outstrip the everyday body,” an invitation to a kind of intimacy otherwise denied in the conventional performance space and the musical film.
As relatives in form – mediums preoccupied with the acting body and its actions unfolding in time – dance and cinema express their commonalities most effectively in the experimental form. These artists used the moving body as a counterweight, pulling and pushing cinematic techniques to “match its moves.” Conversely, the agility of the camera allows the spectators to move around the dancers, creating a fluid point of view, as if encircling a living sculpture. The films were chosen with attention to presenting a variety of abstract as well as representational environments, in which the flitting camera and shifting dancer touch upon ideas of urbanism, science, nature and art.
