Join us for a ScreenDance Miami Festival 2023 Projection Wall Screening with Feature-length Film Selections.

AILEY (2021) – A feature film by Jamila Wignot

Alvin Ailey was a trailblazing pioneer who found salvation through dance. AILEY traces the full contours of this brilliant and enigmatic man whose search for the truth in movement resulted in enduring choreography that centers on the Black American experience with grace, strength, and unparalleled beauty. Told through Ailey’s own words and featuring evocative archival footage and interviews with those who intimately knew him, director Jamila Wignot weaves together a resonant biography of an elusive visionary.

Iya tundé, la mère est revenue [Iya tundé, The Mother Came Back] (2017) – A feature film by Germaine Acogny & Laure Malécot

This portrait pays homage to the doyenne of contemporary African dance, Germaine Acogny as she turns 70. Documenting the life’s work of the Franco-Senegalese dancer-choreographer, whether at home at the Ecole des Sables, in Toubab Dialaw, Senegal that she founded, leading master-classes in Africa, Asia and Europe, or in performance, this film focuses on understanding her creative process and discovering her personal development and approach to life.
