Tone Glow Presents "On the Move"
On October 13th and 14th, Tone Glow presents ten avant-garde dance films and road movies
Tone Glow is excited to announce “On the Move,” two programs of avant-garde dance films and road movies that will take place on Sunday, October 13th at 2PM and Monday, October 14th at 7PM. Screenings will be held at Sweet Void Cinema in Chicago. These films showcase a wide range of styles and ideas regarding the notion of a “dance film” and “road movie,” finding ways to complicate and expand their meaning. The intent is to further encourage contemplation of these works through their juxtapositions. We’re especially excited to screen some lesser-known works from beloved filmmakers, including Michael Snow’s Seated Figures (1988), Jonas Mekas’ Cup/Saucer/Two Dancers/Radio (1965/1983), and Gunvor Nelson’s Light Years Expanding (1988).
Everything will be shown on 16mm except Sharon Lockhart’s Goshogaoka, which will be shown as an HD digital projection. Tickets are $15 for each program and can be found here and here. Special thanks to Canyon Cinema, the Film-Makers’ Cooperative, Sweet Void Cinema, Joshua Mabe, and the Chicago Film Society.
