I Tube, You Tube, We all Tube for YouTube!   Curated by Jody Oberfelder December 9th 7:30pm tickets $10, click here to reserve online The Tank 354 West 45th St. New York, NY 10036 http://thetanknyc.org For our final Kinetic Cinema of the year, dance filmmaker Jody Oberfelder will present a humorous and provocative survey of the global impact of YouTube and how dance artists can best use this platform to showcase and further their art. In her survey, Oberfelder will present an array of stunning clips ranging from hilarious "fail' videos, bloopers, video-blogging, and a few dance-centric films, to explore content that captures our attention- what gets the most hits and why? In conjunction with this Kinetic Cinema screening, Movement Media has posted a challenge to our audience and readers to create a viral video of your own (see our blog post: Viral Videos Contest on YouTube!!). The person whose video receives the most hits on YouTube by December 9th will have their video screened at Kinetic Cinema and receive a special prize. In addition to YouTube, Movement Media and Oberfelder will discuss how dancers and video artists can enhance the reach of their work by submitting their videos to blogs (such as MovetheFrame.com),  screenings (such as Kinetic Cinema), and online festivals (such as the UMove Videodance Festival). We look forward to seeing you there!

Kinetic Cinema explores the intersection of dance and the moving image. For each screening Anna Brady Nuse, Pentacle's director of Movement Media, invites a different guest artist from the fields of dance and media arts to share a selection of films and videos that have inspired them. These could be works for screen that feature dance, are kinetic-based, or have been influential on their work in some way. The guest curators come from a range of backgrounds as performers, choreographers, critics, video artists, and film-makers.   Check our blog, Movetheframe.com for news of our next season of Kinetic Cinema.
