Motion State Dance Film Series- Season 7

Going into its Seventh Season, the Motion State Dance Film Series is the only year-long, traveling short dance film festival in New England devoted to showcasing the diversity of contemporary creative voices exploring the medium of choreography for the camera. By taking the festival “on the road” and into non-traditional film venues, such as art galleries, music halls, performing arts theaters, and university classrooms, the Motion State Dance Film Series seeks to expose the films and filmmakers to new audiences. Every screening is followed by a public Q & A with the curators.

In addition to viewing and discussing a plethora of dance film shorts from around the world, and getting an overview of this now international genre, participants are led through a variety of editing exercises, the preliminaries of getting coverage, examine choreography for camera - what works and what doesn’t, incorporating elements including time, distance, lighting, jump cuts, and much more. Each participant leaves with professionally shot footage of their own creation & direction.
