Dance film tackles domestic drama

Shona McCullagh’s short film Break was a highlight of the Dance on Camera Festival at New York’s Walter Reade Theatre, according to the New York Times. Set in rural NZ, ‘Break’ illustrates, with surprising subtlety, the breakdown of a family” and stands out from the frequently “gimmicky” nature of contemporary dance films. The 35th annual Dance on Camera Festival comprised 30 films from all over the world and screened from January 12-13.
