Syracuse Sequence

About This Movie

Syracuse Sequence is a fascinating piece, shot in those two distinct locations—the Everson Museum and Fishbach Gallery—adding this intriguing contrast between the settings. It’s really interesting how the dancers delve into the concept of spinning as a dance form, which brings a meditative quality to the piece. The pacing is artful, giving each dancer their moment to express not just movement, but thought, which feels almost philosophical. The practical effects come from the dancers themselves, their spins creating a visual rhythm that’s captivating. It’s not just dance; it’s a dialogue about movement and space, and that makes it stand out in a collector's context.

Syracuse Sequence has a limited release history, which adds to its intrigue among collectors. There are few known copies of this film, making it somewhat scarce in collector circles. Interest has grown, particularly among those who appreciate experimental dance films and the merging of performance art with unique settings. It’s a quiet gem that resonates with those who value the avant-garde aspects of cinema.
