Скачать или смотреть The Vault: Bay Area Legends | Historic Dance Films with SFDFF

SFDFF opens The Vault and shines a light on the early work of four Bay Area Legends.

On Thursday, June 6th, 2024 at the Delancey Street Theater, San Francisco, SFDFF honored 4 Bay Area choreographers – Ellen Bromberg, Joe Goode, Margaret Jenkins, and Brenda Way – and the filmmakers with whom they created historic dance films for national public television.

In 1989, the PBS series “Alive From Off Center” made an unprecedented pitch to KQED TV to produce collaborative dance pieces representing the best dance in San Francisco. The result was three films produced for KQED by Linda Schaller: “Shorebirds Atlantic”, “The Black Dress”, and “29 Effeminate Gestures”. The fourth film on our program, “Loose the Thread”, came two years later as part of a full-length program celebrating ODC/Dance’s 20th anniversary.

The screening was followed by a conversation with the four choreographers.
