The Story Between the Pagesencapsulates the process of creating the dance and the process of capturing the events on camera.
From the Top: The Making of Quiescence was Joe’l Ludovich’s Master of Fine Arts thesis project. The film follows Myra Bazell as she created a work for the 2000 Philadelphia Fringe Festival. With interviews with dancers and musicians, most of the footage is of performance and rehearsals. The dancers comment on their experience in a non-traditional documentary style. This was the first “process” dance documentary of Joe'l's collection. Joel continued to shoot Myra Bazell’s work for the next 10 years.
The Unbirth is a short black and white 16 mm film with sync sound produced on mag stock and edited on a Steenbeck editing system. It is an experimental film that is from the point of view of a fetus’ journey through images of violence in real life and animated scenes and the choice it makes to ultimately abort itself. Very abstract in its delivery, the images are accompanied with a sound track by Diamanda Galas.
