Please join us for our first event of 2012, Kinetic Cinema: "Dance on Camera Extended," presented in association with Pentacle's Movement Media and the Dance Films Association.

Every year at Lincoln Center, the Dance Films Association's Dance on Camera Festival showcases films that highlight the relationship between movement and cinema. Hundreds of submissions are received, but only a few can be screened. For this special program, Pentacle's Movement Media has selected some of their favorites submissions that didn't make it into the festival to share with us. It's a great chance for us to see and discuss some innovative, quality shorts that you might not get to see otherwise.

The screenings will take place Saturday, Feb 4, 2012 at 7 pm at CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 123 4th Ave, 2nd FL, NYC 10003 (between 12th & 13th streets, above Think Coffee).

Tickets are $10 and are available at the door or online at

THE PROGRAM

Let’s Dance, dir. Malia Bruker & Oscar Mollina
Let's Dance is a sensual black and white film that captures the relief that art provides in everyday life. The couple’s physicality changes, senses are heightened, and passion aroused when leaving the mundane and joining one another in dance.

For Water, dir. Natalie Metzger
A collaboration between dancers from Indonesia and America, For Water is inspired by the importance of water to the islands of Indonesia and to water-starved California. The film follows a pilgrimage of five spirits to a sacred place to perform their ritual for water.

Chromatic Revelry, dir. Evann Siebens
Chromatic Revelry juxtaposes the harmonic scale of J.S. Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier with the chaos of rave culture. Shot on Super 8 film in clubs and at raves, the piece is transhistorical, suggesting a timelessness to parties, celebration and dance.
