World premiere of 'The Area', a Dublin dance film at Dance on Camera Film Festival, Lincoln Center, New York, February 2 2014.
THE AREA has been selected from international competition for the 42nd Dance on Camera Film Festival at the Lincoln Center. 'The Area', directed by Ríonach Ní Néill & Joe Lee, was chosen with three other entries from Canada, France and the US to celebrate artists who find their artistic inspiration in their communities. It features members of the Macushla Dance Club for the +50s, from Dublin's inner city, and captures their intimate relationships with their ever-changing Dublin neighbourhood.
Funny and poignant - their loves, losses, struggles and celebrations are recounted through the prism of dance. Past and present merge, as a retail loading bay once again becomes a ballroom, a carpark hosts a kitchen poker game, and men serenade tailors dummies in an abandoned post-industrial dockland. Their dances are an ephemeral grafitti. 'We were here! This is ours!'
