The Dancing Photo on Film
In its essence, photography is static and silent. It subtracts sound and movement from everything it captures. But in photofilms, the editing process adds sound, music and language to the photographs; the static images begin to move, even to dance. This program reveals how illusions of movement are created: From stasis to movement, from rhythm to animation.
