Yerevan, September 8. ArmInfo. The 7th International Festival of Dance
Films "Movie Dance" will take place in Armenia for the first time from
September 28 to October 1. The best dance films provided by video
archives of 30 countries will be demonstrated during the festival,
Melik Karapertyan, a member of the Association of Movie Critics and
Journalists of Armenia, Director of the Movie Department, the National
Picture Gallery, told ArmInfo. The films to be demonstrated were
short from 1980 to 2006. In addition, professional teachers and film
directors Alla Cowgan and Alisa Cordon from the USA will give master-
classes and lectures for choreographers, dancers and cameramen. The
festival has no contest program, it just aims demonstrations of retro
films. The films by Armenian directors will be demonstrated during
the festival as well.
The dance movie has become popular in Armenia at the beginning of
1980s when choreographers from New York, Boston and Saint Petersburg
expressed a desire to show the world the methods, principles and the
rules of making a high-quality dance film. Since then, festivals of
dance movie were organized in these cities, and the films by Armenian
film director Artavazd Peleshyan "Inhabitants" and "Seasons of the
Year" took a good place during the festivals. The 4th International
Festival "Movie Dance" demonstrated a film by another American Armenian
film director Michael Demirijyan "Dancers go to Bowling."
