Join us for the world premieres of three new dance films and a video installation commissioned by EMPAC's DANCE MOViES program. The 7 PM screening will be followed by a shockingly joyful intervention and procession led by the punk marching band Mucca Pazza. You can then join the filmmakers and artists, who will share behind-the-scenes material and stories.
The DANCE MOViES Commission is supported by EMPAC's Jaffe Fund for Experimental Media and the Performing Arts. It is open to artists based in North and South America who are making video, film, and installation work in dance.
