Frameform is back and diving back into talking movies, moving and everything in between. Of all locations seen in screendance films, none may be more ubiquitous than the warehouse.
Search for the term “dance film” online, and you will reliably get quite a few films set in warehouse spaces. The qualities and histories of these spaces - old factory equipment, peeling walls and dusty air- can either enhance or diminish a work depending on how thoughtfully or not they are incorporated.
The Frameform team dissects the attraction of dance filmmakers to warehouse space and analyzes how efficacy (or not) of their use among several films.
In honor of Simon Fildes, here are links to several films:
