Dance on Camera Festival 2010 special events

During the 2010 Dance on Camera Festival, Frieda and Roy Furman Gallery at the Walter Reade Theatre housed an installation, “The Tiny Dance Film Series” a collaboration between choreographer Peter Kyle and sound artist James Bigbee Garver that consists of very short and very small dance films screened in 4 darkened kiosks for an audience of one.

Susan Braun began this festival in 1971 to connect dance film producers with users and distributors, to spur dancers on to preserve their work on film and to be open to filmmakers wishing to make documentaries about them and/or to collaborate on screen adaptations of their choreography. For almost twenty years, DFA's Festival was the sole showcase dedicated to dance films in the world. For the last ten years, DFA's Festival has offered a revenue source for the dance filmmakers through their tours.

"The Dance on Camera Festival is one of those NY stealth events, prized by its devotees...where the allusiveness of dance meets the intimacy of film to create a newkind of magic" John Rockwell, The New York Times
