life affirming!”

"No
art form has shown more vitality or greater innovation in

is a wide-open field that’s gaining momentum, and a far

Welcome
to Dance Camera West 2003!
May
2-27 Los Angeles
Last year, Dance Camera West was launched in Los Angeles as
a special event hosted by Friday Nights at the Getty. Sold out
shows and enthusiastic audiences inspired us! This year’s
festival expands into a month-long event and features 10 different
programs at a number of L.A. venues.
For 2003 we are able to bring a wider variety of never-before-seen
dance films to Los Angeles which we have selected by attending
international festivals and sending out an extensive call to
artists.
The second annual Dance Camera West Festival offers the most
outstanding examples of a rich medium that smashes the boundaries
to redefine both dance and cinema.
Selected from over 175 entries from around the
world, these dance films present an array of humor, drama, beauty
and rhythm not usually seen on film or stage.
Dance for screen uses every setting or landscape imaginable,
pushing technology, carving out space, altering time and often
relinquishing cinematic narrative. Combining movement of both
imagery and body, this art form stretches our imaginations and
the way we think about dance.
We hope you’ll find these films enticing, challenging
and inspiring.
