2022 MOVING BODY – MOVING IMAGE Festival, a biennial presentation of dance films centering around issues of social justice, returns to Barnard College’s Department of Dance / Movement Lab. Conceived and curated by the accomplished choreographer, dancer, teacher, and filmmaker Gabri Christa, this year’s edition takes on The Moving Body With Disabilities. The festival features an installation comprising of four video works, available on view at the Millstein Center at Barnard College from March 28 thru April 3; and a live event, held on Sunday, April 3 at Barnard College’s Glicker Milstein Theatre in the Diana Center (both buildings located on the university’s main campus – 3009 Broadway, New York, NY 10027). The live event on April 3 will consist of two programs of short films and a screening of a feature documentary Vision Portraits, followed by a conversation with director Rodney Evans and dancer Kayla Hamilton – two visually impaired artists who will discuss audio descriptions for film and movement. 

The April 3 live event is free and open to the public but registration is required. To RSVP, click here.

All of the festival content (including a recording of the discussion with special guests and festival film submissions not featured in the screenings) will be available for viewing from April 4 – April 11 on the website.
