Educational art programmes that were encouraged by the Roosevelt\u2019s package of systematic measures for crisis easing, the so called The Second New Deal, arranged an audition for young Cunningham and enabled his smooth transition to dance stages. Meeting <strong>John Cage<\/strong>, who explained his views on art to young Cunningham, completely changed his views on dance art. His oeuvre is extensive, humorous, intelligent and revolutionary. But there is something even more radical than his choreographies. In the history of contemporary dance of the past century there is no other dancer, dance pedagogue or composer that would (aided by Cage) attract such a large number of choreographic and dance successors. They managed to cut the time and history in half and by doing so assured the future for contemporary dance. Film director <strong>Alla Kovgan<\/strong> has created a cinematic tribute to this giant of contemporary dance. The documentary features a series of exclusive and restored documentary materials together with the recordings of the last cast of the choreographer\u2019s ensemble. In the USA the film will premier in December, while this screening at CoFestival is one of the first in Europe. This is an outstanding documentary film.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Entry:<\/strong> 5 EUR<\/p>\n<p><strong>Duration:<\/strong> 60 min<\/p>\n<p><em>Organisation: Kino \u0160i\u0161ka and NDA Slovenija<\/em>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>documentary film Wednesday, 27. 11. 2019 Kino \u0160i\u0161ka, Katedrala Hall\u00a0at 9:30 pm Director: Alla Kovgan Countries: France, Germany, United States (2019) Producers: Helge Albers, Ilann Girard, Alla Kovgan, Elizabeth Delude-Dix, Kelly Gilpatrick, Derrick Tseng Screenwriter: Alla Kovgan Editor: Alla Kovgan Cinematographer: Mko Malkhasyan Production company: Achtung Panda!
