Director Duncan McDowall’s screendance piece PAINTED just played at New York’s Lincoln Center as part of the Dance on Camera Festival. “It was terrific to be part of it as well as to be featured on the cover of the festival’s program,” Duncan says.
Choreographed and starring dancer Dorotea Saykaly, the film was selected to screen in the festival’s upcoming Dance on Camera Tour, February 23-24, and then will be heading to Amsterdam to be part of the prestigious Cinedans 2013.
PAINTED will then swing back to Montreal for its first hometown screening as part of the Festival des Films sur l’Art in mid-March.
Duncan is working on a few other things, namely the premiere of his short narrative fiction The Horse Latitudes at the upcoming RVCQ (One of Woolf+Lapin’s favorite film fests) on February 25th, followed by its inclusion in the NSI Short Film Fest as of April 29th.
Since screening The Horse Latitudes as part of last year’s Not Short on Talent delegation at the Cannes Film Festival, Duncan has been busy wrapping another screendance film, casting another narrative short, and scripting a feature-length.
