摘要:Report on the Dance on Camera film festival held at Lincoln Center, New York, N.Y., in December 1997. Deirdre Towers, co-director of the festival, describes the activities of the festival's organizer, the Dance Films Association, founded by Susan Braun in 1956. She discusses different types of dance films, the selection process for the festival and some criteria used in selection. Excerpts from four of the festival's films are shown, intercut with interviews of the filmmakers or choreographers, who talk about their aims and the experience of making the films. These films are Corea, directed by Jodi Kaplan ; Reines d'un jour, directed by Pascal Magnin ; Territorial claims, choreographed by Mary Nunan and danced by Daghdha Dance Company ; and Return of the firebird, directed by Andris Liepa.
