Forward Motion at British Library

The British Council,Pune,brings you a collection of outstanding British screen dance films called Forward Motion.

Screen dance is an artistic genre where choreography and film reside together. Often stylish and innovative,it crosses the boundaries of artist film and video,avant-garde film,experimental film and contemporary dance.

Screen dance often challenges the notion of what dance is. In some films there is less focus on a traditional dancing body and more on the movement of the camera and the relationship between film and choreography. However,the films generally have a strong sense of style in their design,costume,set,location and character.

Forward Motion offers a comprehensive introduction to the history and development of British screen dance.

The films will be screened at the British Library on May 9 & 10. For details contact on 41005300,41005310.
