Shorts for Days: Dance on Film

One of the world’s oldest art forms meets one of the youngest in this suite of shorts that showcase the beauty, grace, grit, and endless innovation of dance in its myriad forms. Including boundary-breaking works by directors like Shirley Clarke ( Dance in the Sun , A Moment in Love ), Julie Dash ( Four Women , Praise House ), and Krzysztof Kieślowski ( Seven Women of Different Ages ), these films fuse dazzling choreography with the technical possibilities of cinema to heighten the ecstatic expression of the human body in motion.
