Ana Kamien

1970 · 10 min

A brief, hypnotic study of movement where dance and camera become one, quiet and experimental.

Overview
Inspired by choreographic fragments of the prestigious dancer Ana Kamien, the filmmaker Marcelo Epstein creates a cinematographic work that, due to its singular concept and language and the year of its realization, is considered the foundational work of what is known today as videodance in Argentina.
