Welcome Welcome to the biennale Moving Body – Moving Image Festival, founded in 2018 as a small Festival for Dance and Movement on Screen focused on social justice topics. The 2022 festival explores the moving body with disabilities on screen. Our Festival has a selection of invited films and films selected by a representative jury. With two programs of shorts, we are excited to present a diverse range of films, including works like "Phoenix Dance," which follows the evolution of a pas de deux created for the late Homer Avila after his right leg and hip were amputated due to cancer. Another highlight is the feature documentary film Vision Portraits, directed by Rodney Evans. The film is a portrait of four artists with visual impairment, including Rodney himself. A conversation with choreographer Kayla Hamilton and Rodney Evans will follow the screening. This year's Festival will have three parts: an Installation of films presented at the Barnard College Movement Lab from March 28th through April 3rd; our Main Program on April 3rd consisting of two programs of shorts, the featured documentary and guest speaker conversation; and Online Screening access to all Festival films, including select online only features, from April 3rd through April 11th available on our website: https://www.movingbodymovingimage.com. As always, all events are free, open to the public, and accessible. We are thankful for the support of Barnard College’s Movement Lab, Sloate Media Center, Department of Dance, Glicker Milstein Theater, th e Center for Accessibility Resources & Disability Services, and the grant from the Diversity Council at Barnard.
