Busby Berkeley was a great director/choreographer in his day, but what has he done for us lately? Turns out… a lot! Berkeley’s penchant for crazy camera moves, sex, elaborate staging, geometry and stream-of-consciousness editing style still influences artists today, and has been used to entertain and sell cigarettes, music, TV shows, and pharmaceuticals. How many choreographers can claim such a broad impact? Kriota Willberg presents clips from an array of independent and studio films, music videos, and television commercials, demonstrating Berkeley’s influence on cinematography and choreographic styles over the last 70 years.
In addition to a smattering of the Hollywood and Bollywood cadre, contributors in the line up include Richard James Allen, Jess Curtis and Kwame Braun, Michel Gondry, Kat Green, Jennie Livingston, Lucky Strike cigarettes, Anna Brady Nuse, Nuvaring®/Schering Corporation, Jonathon Rosen, Keith Schofield, and Kriota Willberg. |
