"The Dance on Camera Festival is one of those NY stealth events, prized by its devotees...where the allusiveness of dance meets the intimacy of film to create a new kind of magic" John Rockwell, The New York Times

DFA's 38th annual, internationally touring
Dance on Camera Festival
January 28 - February 2, 2010

Co-sponsored by the Film Society of Lincoln Center since 1996, DOCF celebrates the immediacy, energy, and mystery of dance as combined with the intimacy of film. DFA's Festival is the oldest dance film festival in the world that sparked a global explosion of activity. Festival 2010 will include a tribute to choreographer/composer/designer Alwin Nikolais as part of his year long Centennial Celebration.
