Celia Rowlson-Hall: Dance and Film talk & screening (2016 Houston Cinema Arts Festival)

In conjunction with the 2016 Houston Cinema Arts Festival, Aurora Picture Show and Houston Cinema Arts Festival present Dance and Film, a talk and screening with filmmaker Celia Rowlson-Hall, who folds elements of dance, fashion, and music into her work.

Trained as a dancer and choreographer for theater, she has made a stunning series of short videos in which she performs, including The Audition (2012) and Prom Night (2010) – the latter features her shapeshifting into various female archetypes from Pamela Anderson to the Virgin Mary.

Following the release of her first independent feature film, MA (which screens in the Houston Cinema Arts Festival on November 13), she was named one of Filmmaker’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film.

Rowlson-Hall will be here to talk about her multidisciplinary process and present a selection of video works.

Joining Rowlson-Hall in conversation about the films will be Lydia Hance, Houston-based choreographer, filmmaker and the Director of Frame Dance Productions.
