STUDY IN CHOREOGRAPHY FOR CAMERA

Duration: 3min

Year Published: 1945

Creator: Deren

Format: 16mm

Sound: Silent

Description: Movements developed and danced by Talley Beatty. In this film, the cinematographic space becomes itself an active element of the dance, rather than being an area in which the dance takes place. This results in a virtually new art of "chorecinema" in which the dance and the camera collaborate on the creation of a single work of art. "John Martin: New York Times"
