GSFF 2016 || Dance/Film

Can a dance film be both good dance and good cinema? The camera can capture details of bodies in movement that a live audience cannot appreciate – does this offer new avenues for choreography? And how should dance films be watched? In a gallery, a cinema, on YouTube? Scottish Ballet and GSFF have collaborated on a programme of recent films experimenting with dance and movement in diverse settings from war torn Syria to Vancouver’s red light district, and proudly unveil a new work based on Scottish Ballet dancer and choreographer Sophie Laplane’s recent work Maze.
