Screendance Festival 2018
Don’t miss a unique opportunity to work with this internationally acclaimed filmmaker, composer and interdisciplinary artist. De Mey will be in residence in the College of Fine Arts presenting formal strategies for interdisciplinary collaboration. Come collaborate with your CFA colleagues!
“De Mey’s instinctive feel for movement guides his entire work, allowing him to tackle and integrate a variety of disciplines. The premise behind his musical and filmic writing is the desire for rhythm to be experienced in the body or bodies, revealing the musical meaning for the author, performer and audience.
De Mey composes a choreography on choreography; he produces a work of creation by sublimating that of its partners. The image naturally involves music and dance in his creative process, giving his art the sense of a three-strand plait. Everything shifts with DeMey, especially boundaries.
...From great vividness to nebulous atmospheres, each new opus from Thierry De Mey – be it film, composition or installation – represents a particular study of moving bodies. In their own way each one tells the magical story of time unfolding and man wrapped up in it.

History of Screendance at the U
In 1999 the Department of Modern Dance presented its first International Dance for Camera Festival and Workshop. Founded and Directed by Distinguished Professor Ellen Bromberg, the festival was an annual event until 2002, after which it has continued on a bi-annual or tri-annual basis. Professor Bromberg has hosted visiting artists and scholars from across the country and around the globe to screen their films, teach workshops and engage in symposia and critical analysis of this hybrid art form. Guests have included Douglas Rosenberg (the first four festivals), Victoria Marks, Ann Daly, Naomi Jackson, Brian Patrick (Dept. of Film & Media Arts) Bob Lockyer (England) Laura Taler (Canada), Katrina McPherson (Scotland), Simon Fildes (Scotland). In addition, throughout these years, Professor Bromberg has curated screenings that range from historical works to the most contemporary innovations in film, video and animation.*
In 2001, in conjunction with the Festival, a student competition was inaugurated. As a completely student run event (funded by College Fine Arts Fee Grants), this component has been adjudicated by professional dance filmmakers, educators and festival producers over the years, providing students with an opportunity to learn about the jury process. In recent years, a cash award for the Best of Festival was inaugurated.
*Support for these activities has been generously provided by: The Council of Dee Fellows, the University Teaching Committee, the College of Humanities, the Tanner Humanities Center, the University of Utah Office for Diversity, the Department of Film & Media Arts, and the School of Dance

First Evening – September 28th
“A Dedication To Anna Sokolow”
This evening is dedicated to the work and memory of choreographer Anna Sokolow, who died earlier this year. Sokolow contributed to the world of modern dance for nearly seven decades. Her renegade spirit and ground breaking choreography has and will continue to influence generations of artists and dance enthusiasts. The classic film of Sokolow’s signature work “Rooms” will be screened, along with Shirley Clarke’s film of Sokolow’s “Moment in Love”. Set to the music of Kenyon Hopkins and produced by WNET Television, “Rooms” depicts the loneliness and alienation of modern man, and is considered an enduring masterpiece of twentieth-century art. In Sokolow’s “Moment in Love,” performed by Carmela Gutierrez and Paul Sanasardo, Ms. Clarke utilizes inventive film techniques to further the expression of romantic love, poetically captured in Sokolow’s choreography. The screening will be followed by a discussion and an opening night reception.
