Press Release PRESS RELEASE The Film Society of Lincoln Center and Dance Films Association announce the 41st edition of DANCE ON CAMERA February 1-5, 2013 Opening Night launches with the World Premiere of Alan Brown’s FIVE DANCES th Lineup highlights include the 50 Anniversary of Francisco Rovira Beleta’s flamenco classic, LOS TARANTOS; ice dancing with Olympic legend Dick Button, and a salute to pioneer dance filmmaker Shirley Clarke "A Dance of Light: Forty-Years of Self-Portraits by Arno Rafael Minkkinen," photography exhibit will be on display New York, NY, December 5, 2012 – The Film Society of Lincoln Center and Dance Films Association today announced the lineup for the 41st edition of Dance on Camera. Taking place February 1-5, the dance-centric film festival returns to the Film Society for the 17th consecutive year with an exciting and diverse array of dance films, including several premieres. This year’s selections range widely in subject and genre beginning with the Opening Night presentation of Alan Brown’s youthful, sexy contemporary coming of age film, FIVE DANCES, with stunning choreography by Jonah Bokaer. Closing Night honors will be shared by Sylvie Collier’s charming documentary TO DANCE LIKE A MAN, featuring the first known Cuban identical boy triplets - 11-year-old students at the National Ballet School in Havana, and Andrew Garrison’s TRASH DANCE inventive choreographed “dance” of Austin, Texas garbage collectors. "Dance on Camera is an exuberant hybrid. Its roots hold the seeds of innovation inherent in the concept of combining dance with cinematography in ways that alter one’s perception of both mediums," said Joanna Ney, co-curator of the Dance on Camera Festival. "While recorded dance has its place, this year we are reaching beyond traditional genres to encompass ideas we have not explored before, with programs devoted to ice dancing, the body’s relationship to landscape and music, and the fusion of choreography and narrative in non- verbal ways.” The festival will make its first foray into the glamorous and virtuosic genre of ice dancing, as it captures the artistry of the Ice Theatre of New York, the nation’s premier ice dance company, through film excerpts and a personal appearance by Dick Button and other guests. Another first for Dance on Camera is the focus on music as it relates to dance, through a program of Music Videos from Sigur Ros' newest album “Valtari,” as well as Kimmo Koskela’s feature-length music documentary, SOUNDBREAKER: THE WORLD OF KIMMO POHJONEN, which explores the creative process of the internationally known Finnish accordion player and composer whose approach to this traditional instrument is anything but traditional, as he breaks all rules and pushes the boundaries about as far as they can go. Additional highlights includ the 50th anniversary of Francisco Rovira Beleta’s great flamenco film, LOS TARANTOS starring Antonio Gades and Carmen Amaya, as well as a salute to Shirley Clarke, the pioneering New York filmmaker best known for her rhythmic and intense explorations of Bohemian life (THE CONNECTION, THE COOL WORLD) and a special look at film legend and innovator Busby Berkeley. Clarke will be honored in two programs that focus on her artistic life as a dancer/choreographer with a showing of her short dance films made in the 1950’s, as well as André Labarthe’s documentary ROME IS BURNING (1970), which include cameos by Jonas Mekes and Yoko Ono, and Donna Cameron’s SHIRLEY CLARKE: IN OUR TIME, a collaboration between the two artists made toward the end of Clarke’s life. Berkeley appears in a Cineastes of our Times documentary from 1971. In the film, Berkeley reveals exactly how he shot some of his most spectacular dance numbers in classic Hollywood films such as FORTY SECOND STREET and GOLDDIGGERS OF 1933 in a surprisingly candid interview conducted toward the end of his life. “Since dance films are ever evolving, we hope that this year’s programs will allow audiences new ways to experience dance on camera. We’ve selected films and programs that are currently stretching the boundaries of the art form, and invited filmmakers who are using dance on camera and new media in an innovative ways," says Dance on Camera Festival co-curator Liz Wolff. In connection with the Dance on Camera Festival, "A Dance of Light: Forty-Years of Self-Portraits by Arno Rafael Minkkinen," an exhibit of striking black and white images by Finnish/American photographer Arno Rafael Minkkinen, will be presented in the Furman Gallery of the Walter Reade Theater beginning January 25 through February 5. These works reflect this adventurous artist’s preoccupation with portraiture and landscape, which he has been exploring for many years. Minkkinen is a Finnish- American artist born in Helsinki, raised in New York, internationally published and exhibited. His works appear in many prominent museums and private collections. Knighted in his native Finland, Minkkinen is a professor of art at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell and a docent at University of Art and Design in Helsinki. Minkkinen will also present a segment from THE RAIN HOUSE, his latest film collaboration with Kimmo Koskela, the director of SOUNDBREAKER: THE WORLD OF KIMMO POHJONEN. Osvaldo Da Silva of Barry Friedman LTD assisted making the presentation possible. Examining dance film beyond the movie theater screen, Dance on Camera will also feature an installation of short dance films at 25CPW Gallery showcasing the work of Diego Agudo Pinilla, among others as well as a special screening that explores dance films in both commercial and artistic contexts with filmmaker, choreographer and Bessie Award winning performer, Celia Rowlson-Hall and conceptual video artist, Brian Gonzalez.

Wise and J. Robbins, 1961), Los Tarantos (F. Rovira-Beleta, 1963) and No somos ni Romeo ni Julieta (A. Paso, 1969) [1] Par Víctor Huertas-Martín Publication en ligne le 07 décembre 2020 Résumé This article examines the critical reception of the film adaptation of West Side Story (Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise, 1961) in Spanish culture and cinematography. It looks into two other screen versions of Romeo and Juliet: Los Tarantos (Francesc Rovira-Beleta, 1963) and No somos ni Romeo ni Julieta (Alfonso Paso, 1969). West Side Story remains in the Spanish cultural memory as a filmic event associated with the arrival of foreign influence amidst national-catholic dictatorship. I will use the variables “place” and “space,” which distinguish, on one hand, proper orders established by authority and, on the other hand, areas transformable by interactions and changes, and will refer to Shakespeare’s presentist criticism, French cultural theory and French Film Theory as lenses. I will examine West Side Story’s 1963 Spanish reception material as well as its possible interactions with the webwork of cultural forces in operation amidst the 1960s Spanish culture. Then, I will examine the mise en scenes of Los Tarantos and No somos ni Romeo ni Julieta focusing on the forms in which characters, places and camerawork contribute to create spaces, i.e. places permeable to change and transformation through human interaction.

    REVISTA DE INVESTIGACIÓN SOBRE FLAMENCO LLLaLa madrugá Nº11, Diciembre 2014, ISSN 1989-6042 LOS TARANTOS , DE ROVIRA BELETA, COMO RECURSO DIDÁCTICO PARA LA ENSEÑANZA DEL FLAMENCO Dra. Macarena Navarro Pablo Universidad de Sevilla Enviado: 16-01-2015 Aceptado: 25-01-2015 Resumen Partiendo del cine como recurso didáctico, en el presente artículo analizamos, ofrecemos datos y hacemos sugerencias para el uso en el aula de la película Los Tarantos , un filme ambientado en el Somorrostro de Barcelona de la década de los sesenta que tiene entre sus protagonistas a Carmen Amaya y a Antonio Gades. Palabras clave: Flamenco, baile, etnia gitana, Somorrostro, Carmen Amaya, Antonio Gades, Sara Lezana, Antonia la Singla. Abstract Using cinema as a methodological resource, the present paper analyzes Francisco Rovira Beleta’s film Los Tarantos , offers information about it and proposes activities to be done while and after watching it. The film located in the marginal district of Somorrostro in Barcelona has Carmen Amaya, Antonio Gades and Sara Lezana among its main characters. 101 © SERVICIO DE PUBLICACIONES DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE MURCIA http://revistas.um.es/flamenco 1. El cine, un recurso didáctico innovador Siempre se ha dicho que una imagen vale más que mil palabras. Y, ¿qué decir de una imagen que habla y se mueve?, que eso es ni más ni menos el cine. Recientemente, se han constituido grupos de investigación que tienen como fin explorar nuevos campos para la didáctica de diversas materias a distintos niveles educativos 1. Esas son nuestras inquietudes. En este sentido, estamos plenamente de acuerdo con Pereira Domínguez cuando dice: El cine, y más el de autor, es una traslación constatada de un considerable poder sociocultural, artístico y humano, porque es capaz de acoger la más impensable diversidad de sentimientos, deseos, acontecimientos y percepciones.

Prerequisite: 1 semester of any dance composition class, and 1 semester of any dance technique class. Prerequisite can be waived based-on comparable experience. Course This course provides a practical and theoretical introduction to dance for the camera, Description including choreography, video production and post-production as pertains to this genre of experimental filmmaking.

Through studio-based exercises, viewings and discussions, we will consider specific approaches to translating, contextualizing, framing, and structuring movement in the cinematic format. Choreographic practices will be considered and practiced in terms of the spatial, temporal and geographic alternatives that cinema offers dance – i.e. a three-dimensional, and sculptural presentation of the body as opposed to the proscenium theatre. We will practice effectively shooting dance with video cameras, including basic camera functions, and framing, as well as employing techniques for play on gravity, continuity of movement and other body-focused approaches. The basics of non-linear editing will be taught alongside the craft of editing. Students will fulfill hands-on assignments imparting specific techniques. For mid-year and final projects, students will cut together short dance film pieces that they have developed through the various phases of the course. Students will have the option to work independently, or in teams on each of the assignments. At the completion of the course, students should have an informed understanding of the issues involved with translating the live form of dance into a screen art.

  • Ballets Russes Press
    A ZEITGEIST FILMS RELEASE THEY CAME. THEY DANCED. OUR WORLD WAS NEVER THE SAME. BALLETS RUSSES a film by Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller Unearthing a treasure trove of archival footage, filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine have fashioned a dazzlingly entrancing ode to the rev- olutionary twentieth-century dance troupe known as the Ballets Russes. What began as a group of Russian refugees who never danced in Russia became not one but two rival dance troupes who fought the infamous “ballet battles” that consumed London society before World War II. BALLETS RUSSES maps the company’s Diaghilev-era beginnings in turn- of-the-century Paris—when artists such as Nijinsky, Balanchine, Picasso, Miró, Matisse, and Stravinsky united in an unparalleled collaboration—to its halcyon days of the 1930s and ’40s, when the Ballets Russes toured America, astonishing audiences schooled in vaudeville with artistry never before seen, to its demise in the 1950s and ’60s when rising costs, rock- eting egos, outside competition, and internal mismanagement ultimately brought this revered company to its knees. Directed with consummate invention and infused with juicy anecdotal interviews from many of the company’s glamorous stars, BALLETS RUSSES treats modern audiences to a rare glimpse of the singularly remarkable merger of Russian, American, European, and Latin American dancers, choreographers, composers, and designers that transformed the face of ballet for generations to come. — Sundance Film Festival 2005 FILMMAKERS’ STATEMENT AND PRODUCTION NOTES In January 2000, our Co-Producers, Robert Hawk and Douglas Blair Turnbaugh, came to us with the idea of filming what they described as a once-in-a-lifetime event.

  • 1 Shakespeare and Film
    Shakespeare and Film: A Bibliographic Index (from Film to Book) Jordi Sala-Lleal University of Girona [email protected] Research into film adaptation has increased very considerably over recent decades, a development that coincides with postmodern interest in cultural cross-overs, artistic hybrids or heterogeneous discourses about our world. Film adaptation of Shakespearian drama is at the forefront of this research: there are numerous general works and partial studies on the cinema that have grown out of the works of William Shakespeare. Many of these are very valuable and of great interest and, in effect, form a body of work that is hybrid and heterogeneous. It seems important, therefore, to be able to consult a detailed and extensive bibliography in this field, and this is the contribution that we offer here. This work aims to be of help to all researchers into Shakespearian film by providing a useful tool for ordering and clarifying the field. It is in the form of an index that relates the bibliographic items with the films of the Shakespearian corpus, going from the film to each of the citations and works that study it. Researchers in this field should find this of particular use since they will be able to see immediately where to find information on every one of the films relating to Shakespeare. Though this is the most important aspect, this work can be of use in other ways since it includes an ordered list of the most important contributions to research on the subject, and a second, extensive, list of films related to Shakespeare in order of their links to the various works of the canon.
