It’s been quite a year with COVID-19 interfering with the world’s daily routines and freedom. With people quarantining inside their homes, a rise of creativity has spiked into the world of dance film.
Entering into the era of what we are calling “Pandemic Vision”, we look at a few films that have sparked new ideas and inventive ways of producing work with social distancing in mind.
We also talk about the social distant process of making films during quarantine with Talia Shea Levin, director of our pick film, Isolations.
