\u201cThis year\u2019s festival offers a broad spectrum of artists who are making a difference, pushing boundaries and offering a fresh perspective,\u201d said Liz Wolff, co-curator. \u201cI am particularly excited about our closing-night film, Mari<\/em>, a dramatic narrative about a dancer caught in a family crisis. Bobbi Jene Smith jumps off the screen and burns with quiet intensity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, this year\u2019s stirring array of shorts is so diverse,\u201d remarks co-curator Nolini Barretto. \u201cThey explore a variety of dance disciplines, with a special highlight, In This Life<\/em>, in which Robbie Fairchild, a New York City Ballet alum and Broadway star, takes the spotlight as lead dancer and producer of a passion project.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Highlights of this year\u2019s festival take dance lovers around the world with 11 programs over four days. Spain and Catalonia draw the spotlight with two films about performers who rise from humble beginnings to great success; making its U.S. premiere, Opening Night film From Knee to Heart<\/em> chronicles the dramatic story of Barcelona\u2019s popular performer Sol Pic\u00f2, known for her radical dance style, while Yuli<\/em>, a powerful biopic on the hardscrabble life of Cuban superstar Carlos Acosta, testifies to the role of ambition in overcoming obstacles. In their film Seven Leagues<\/em>, Catalan filmmakers Jon Ander Santamar\u00eda and Marcia Castillo highlight a Spanish dance company that gives children with motor disabilities the chance to take center stage.<\/p>\n

For the first time in many years, a dramatic narrative with dance at its core will make its U.S. premiere as the Closing Night attraction. Mari <\/em>focuses on a family crisis as a daughter, played by the charismatic actress\/dancer Bobbi Jene Smith, finds herself torn between her fear of losing her mother and her obligation to the dance company she founded. Other notable highlights of the festival include the North American premiere of Olivia Rochette and Gerard-Jan Claes\u2019s Mitten<\/em>; Three Dances<\/em>, which follows three generations of dancers participating in the nine-year ballet program at the Hungarian Dance Academy; and the North American premiere of Play Serious<\/em>, a behind-the-scenes documentary capturing the 2017 production of Alexander Ekman\u2019s \u201cPlay.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s festival also features an exciting and varied array of short films, with two programs highlighting multiple styles of dance that range from classical Indian and tango to street dance and more. One short-film highlight is In This Life<\/em>, following New York City Ballet\u2019s former principal Robert Fairchild as he moves into the spotlight as producer and performer of a dance narrative about one character\u2019s battle with grief and loss. Three short documentaries directed by women are at the center of the second edition of DFA Global, an initiative which provides a platform of support and dialogue with global screen dance filmmakers. The three shorts\u2014Blind Dancer<\/em>, Dancing in Silk<\/em>, and From There to Here<\/em>\u2014take the viewer into diverse and strife-ridden communities, revealing just how inspirational the practice of dance can be against all odds.<\/p>\n

Special programs and talks from Dance on Camera include a free work-in-progress screening of Obsessed with Light: The Genius of Lo\u00efe Fuller<\/em>, followed by a Q&A with the directors and choreographer, as well as two free talks. The festival will also pay tribute to Merce Cunningham\u2019s Centennial with a screening of With Merce<\/em>, directed by filmmaker, media artist, and longtime collaborator Charles Atlas. Composed of excerpts from their collaborations and featuring highlights from Cunningham\u2019s key works, the film sheds new light on the genius choreographer with priceless material from Atlas\u2019s personal archive.<\/p>\n

\nWorld Premiere
\n<\/strong>A newsclip featuring Tamar Rogoff\u2019s work with Gregg Mozgala inspires a group in Spain, made up of people from different backgrounds, to put into practice something that seemed impossible: giving children with motor disabilities the chance to be the main performers on a theater stage. For families who have been struggling for years, something as seemingly ordinary as taking children to classical ballet classes is a major life change. The title refers to the magical boots that allow fairy-tale character Tom Thumb to escape an ogre by jumping over mountains and taking giant steps that cover seven leagues, and the children\u2019s cerebral palsy braces in the film are worn with this inspiration.<\/p>\n
