DFA PROGRAMS
Dance Films Association is excited to introduce our newest series, Films That Move. From large scale events to smaller intimate screenings, these varied collections of films have movement in common. Our goal? Embed dance film into New York City’s locomotive fabric. We’re starting local, collaborating with our friends down the street for Films That Move at Gibney Dance Center. In the future months, we’ll expand, reaching downtown, to Brooklyn, and soon all five boroughs. We’ll have more to share in the coming weeks about Films That Move, be on the lookout!

Each expert summarizes the content of his or her sessions in a brief movie that is catalogued on our website or featured on our blog.

Our two most recently curated projects on our Kickstarter Page are from DFA Members.
We ask you to support their efforts and fuel the artist to artist giving cycle!
What Love Tells Me by Keyvn Farichild
Kickstarter Project
 Two men. One city. Passion without words.
Expressed entirely through dance, their bodies are their voices as their romance blooms. The title of the film comes from Mahler’s own description of the final movement of his genre-shattering symphonic work, which inspired the film.
Principle photography will begin June 2012. Money raised through Kickstarter will be used to cover various production expenses including equipment, talent, crew, incentives, post-production and music rights.
