Summary

Report on the 1995 Moving Pictures festival, held in Toronto, Canada. Evann Siebens, a dancer turned filmmaker, discusses the affinities of dance and film, some major contributors to the history of dance films (including Fred Astaire, Busby Berkeley, and Maya Deren), her experiences at the Moving Pictures festival, and her film "do not call it fixity--," inspired by T.S. Eliot's poem Burnt Norton. In interviews recorded on location, two of the festival's organizers, Marc Glassman and Kathleen M. Smith, discuss its origins, evolution and purposes. Five filmmakers introduce clips from their films: Alison Murray ("Sleazeburger") ; Michael Downing ("Dancefront") ; Cynthia Wells ("Roses--thorns, and dreams") ; Laura Taler ("the village trilogy") ; Denis Psaltopoulos ("Sang de l'amour"). The program closes with footage of the festival's awards ceremony.
