ART IN MOTION

Long before the Lascaux cave paintings were discovered, dance was the original art form. Film is last on the list, having appeared at the end of the 19th century on the walls of the Salon indien at the Grand Café in Paris.

Both dance and the 7th art, try to harness motion, to make it tangible and fluid in the eyes of audiences. Both these means of expression have always succeeded in creating this fusion, joined most often by another essential art, music. By pushing it to its limit, the films in this program masterfully demonstrate this happy marriage of time and space.
