SCREENDANCE IS BACK

Salt Lake Film Society, in collaboration with the University of Utah School of Dance, College of Fine Arts and Film & Media Arts Department, present the third edition of Screendance Film Tour: Bodies in Motion, featuring the works of award-winning dance filmmakers, at the Broadway Centre Cinemas, on April 9 to April 11.
 
This year’s lineup was carefully curated by experimental filmmaker, choreographer, performer and Program Director for the Graduate Certificate in Screendance at the University of Utah, Kym McDaniel, who also moderated our two pre-recorded panel conversations.

VISITING GUEST

Tania, a Mexican filmmaker with brown skin and long brown hair, peers down at the camera, a small smile on her lips and in her eyes. She wears a dark blue long-sleeved top with small white dots. Behind her, an angular glass building reflects green and whites of the landscape and sun.'

Tania Hernández Velasco is a filmmaker born in México City. Through a poetic, ludic and sensory approach, her work explores questions of territory, nature, legacy and identity that traverse her intimate sphere.

Titixe (2018), her first feature documentary in which she holds directing, editing, producing and cinematography credits, has been selected in more than forty international film festivals and collected several awards. 

In 2019, she was selected as a Flaherty Seminar – Professional Development Fellow (Flaherty Seminar, NY) and was awarded the Charles C. Guggenheim Emerging Artist Award (Full Frame FF, NC).

In 2022, she debuted as an opera stage director for Opera Lafayette’s Silvain which premiered in NYC’s Museo del Barrio and Washington DC’s Kennedy Center. That year, she also premiered “Eclipsis”, in which she holds directing, editing and producing credits, a short film produced by Mexico’s National University Cinematheque (Filmoteca UNAM).

She is working on her second film My Body Is an Expanding Star (2024), in collaboration with Semillites Hernández Velasco. This project has been supported by FOCINE-IMCINE (2021)and Firelight Media’s William Greaves Fund (United States, 2021).  Hernández Velasco imparts documentary workshops and is currently a recipient of México’s Jóvenes Creadores grant (2023). 

PANELS

Screendance online program also offers two pre-recorded conversations, spotlighting different themes of the tour.  These will be made available online at slfsathome.org starting April 9.

 

On our first conversation, Screendance lead curator and moderator, Kym McDaniel, engages with Tania Hernández’s work, as well as with disability activist and artist Petra Kuppers, and U of U student Devin Etcitty, to discuss integrating poetry and voice in their screendance practices.

On our second conversation, Kym McDaniel and U of U Screendance Program Founder, Ellen Bromberg, discuss the legacy of screendance in Salt Lake City and the journey of the Tour to this day. A candid, joyful discussion, that will surely be cherished for many years to come.
