Moving images, moving bodies. Movement and film just go together. From the early experiments of artists like Loie Fuller and physical comedians like Charlie Chaplin, to the lush spectacle of the movie musicals of the 1930’s and 40’s starring dancer/choreographers like Bill Bojangles Robinson and Fred Astaire, to the avant grade movement with the likes of Maya Daren and Merce Cunningham, to Michael Jackson’s Thriller – moving bodies and the camera have shared an ongoing, dynamic conversation.
Movies By Movers is an annual festival dedicated to the celebration of the conversation between the body and the camera.
Join Us!
The Movies By Movers Film Festival celebrates its 6th annual international festival on the campus of Appalachian State University. Short narrative films and documentaries celebrating the body in motion by established, emerging and student artists from around the world are shared over five days of screenings.
