In collaboration with Live Art Productions the Dalhousie Art Gallery will present a program of special dance film screenings on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 22, 23 and 24, 6:30pm to 7:30 pm. This annual event explores the intersections of dance and the camera, and includes a spotlight on Italian artists, a selection of Canadian premières as well as works from around the globe. Canadian highlights include the NFB documentary Tango in a Cold City, focusing on Argentinian Immigrants in Toronto and the community created from within and around the Tango clubs, and Animated Variations by Gregory Nixon, an innovative mix of live action and hand drawn animation by Julien Grey, with dancer Yvonne Ng.
