On Sunday April 19th at 2pm local filmmaker Judith Blank will present her film Soldiers & Dancers, the Art of a Princely State, a 40-minute documentary. It features footage shot in 1969, the result of an expedition in dance ethnography to the former princely state of Mayurbhanj, E. India. The film presents this archival footage in a cultural and physical setting that makes it accessible to American audiences. Judith Blank did the slides, sound recordings, and Super 8mm films and is the narrator. Joshua Alsup, her son, composed all those pieces into a film with an entertaining soundtrack. There will be a Q&A afterwards. Admission is free. Doors will open at 1:30.
