Superhero movies: "The Death of Cinema" or the new "Golden Age"?
March 13, 2024 13:00 - 52 minutes - 48 MBAudiences can be strongly divided when it comes to musicals, and the same goes for superhero flicks. Are these “theme park movies” the “death of cinema” or are they just a product of the times? In this roundtable with special guest Steven Butler, we cover many facets of movie musicals, superhero franchise films, and how they reflect the circumstances in which they are made and viewed.

Seeing the light
October 25, 2023 15:39 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MBLighting plays a large role in cinematography. In one scenario, light is a tool to just visually see images. While in other cases, light sculpts the features in a space – illuminating the curvatures of people’s bodies, faces, sharp edges on buildings and furniture. Lack of light creates deep undertones such as darkness, evil, mystery, and secrecy while heightening other attributes to a film, like sound and emotion. In all, light is not just a necessity or a need– it’s a tool that serves more...

In the Mood for Color
May 31, 2023 09:30 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MBThis episode is full of COLOR. Maybe not every color of the rainbow, but do they look very pleasing to the eye. Today’s keyword for this episode will be ‘aesthetic’ which is definitely the first thing that comes to my mind while watching these 3 picks. Red, yellow, green, blue, and so on can emphasize many different moods. If you’re someone with synesthesia, you absolutely know the feeling of what color does to the brain when you are either listening to music or reading a story. It wasn’t u...
Location Scout: Forests
May 17, 2023 09:30 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MBIf you thought we were done with location scout episodes, boy you are incorrect. We still have a few in our back pocket! We’re going into the deep deep forest to ground our roots in what nature has to offer in this episode. Let’s be real. Dance films taking place in the woods is a hard production. Most we’ve personally seen or made are not the strongest works. To be honest, forest films have a lot of limitations. To feel totally immersed, you have to take your gear and crew far away from b...
Site-Specific Choreography
May 03, 2023 10:00 - 48 minutes - 44.1 MBYou’re probably reading the title of this episode and thinking “site-specific choreography?

As we’ve segmented the dropped pins over the years, we’ve built an understanding of what the director may be conveying through movement within the landscape. The camera allows dance audiences to go on a journey that the...

Ballet in Focus
October 05, 2022 13:00 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MBIn today’s Pas de Cast, we’re launching a new episode series where, rather than a specific location or film, we will be exploring how specific genres of dance intersect with cinema and technology.

Like a Ballet you may see In the theatre, We’re splitting today’s show into acts. In act one, we’ll talk about a range of examples ...

One of those outside the box artists leading the way of wildly explosive yet iconically memorable music video hits is no other than Missy Elliott– the OG. How can you forget “Lose Control,” and its...

In today’s episode, we’re back on the location scouting game by taking a closer look into dance films taking place in empty swimming pools!

Deep Dive: Metropolis
August 11, 2021 10:44 - 38 minutes - 35.4 MB“The mediator between the head and the hands must be the heart” With its myriad manifestations of choreography through the body and filmic form as well as themes surrounding the mechanization of the human body that almost resonate more strongly today than they did almost a century ago, Fritz Lang’s seminal Metropolis easily has a place in the dance film canon. This week, the Frameform team takes a deep dive into Metropolis (1927) and assesses it through a screendance/dance film lens. They ...
Outside Eye: Conversations With Non-Dance Filmmakers
August 04, 2021 11:43 - 55 minutes - 51.2 MBYes, dance film is a pretty niche mode of filmmaking-- not everyone is familiar with its artistry.
