DANCEFILM Network: Cara Hagan

Where do you watch dancefilm? On TikTok? In a theatre at a film festival? Maybe a gallery? How do we share and enlighten this form of art? How do festivals or algorithms pick which films to feature on their platforms? On today’s episode, curator, writer, filmmaker, and all around great person, Cara Hagan answers such questions on showcasing work as a festival curator and researcher. Hagan, most known as the head of the Movies by Movers program at American Dance Festival, talks about her insights on curating a dynamic showcase for audiences, experimenting with creative outlets to limit disparities amongst communities, and boasting creators outside the academic screendance bubble.
