Call for Works Influenced by Busby Berkeley


If you have made a film or video that pays homage to Busby Berkeley, here's a unique opportunity to have your work screened at the Dance On Camera Festival:

Kriota Willberg, a choreographer, dance filmmaker, and former guest curator of Kinetic Cinema is seeking clips from film, video, or digital media directly influenced by the camera work, staging, or choreographic styles of Busby Berkeley.  As a part of the Dance On Camera Festival, in the lobby of Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater, January 2009,  Kriota Willberg is presenting a short program on the impact of Berkeley's penchant for crazy camera moves, sex,  elaborate staging, geometry, and stream-of-consciousness editing style on the work of mainstream, independent, and fringe media.  There is no budget, no stipend for the use of your media in this presentation (admission is free), but your clip will be credited to you, a part of the festival, and seen at Lincoln Center.  Clips can feature dancing, fights, inanimate objects, animation, live action, stop motion, you name it.  The more unusual, the better.  Copyright for media should be held by you.  I'd also welcome your contribution of found clips that are known to be in public domain.  Please contact kriota@earthlink.net

Here's one of my favorite Berkeley homage pieces, the Chemical Brother's video "Let Forever Be" directed by Michel Gondry.
