Director Jacob Krupnick – 2011 USA 71 min – IndieFest 2012
If you are coming to our Opening Night Film STUCK plan to stick around for this show. Have a drink at the bar and some pizza from Paxti and DNA Pizza, then prepare yourself for our retrospective re-screening of 2011’s GIRL WALK//ALL DAY, a feature length dance movie set to Girl Talk’s ALL DAY album.
If you can’t make it to STUCK, you can just come to GIRL WALK. And if you missed it when we showed it in Feb 2012, you HAVE to catch it on the big screen this time. This is definitely a movie that will have you dancing the aisles!
Girl Walk // All Day is an epic, 71-minute dance music video set to All Day, the new album by mash-up musician Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis). Girl Walk // All Day expands the boundaries around the idea of the traditional music video, which usually spans the length of a single track. This album-length piece features a talented group of dancers across a range of public and private spaces around New York City, turning the city’s sidewalks and obstacles into part of an evolving improvisational dance routine.
The Story: A young dancer finds herself bored with her ballet rehearsal. One day, she impulsively quits, then takes a ferry to the city. Feeling incredibly inspired by what she sees, Anne dances her way across New York, using the city as her stage. Throughout her journey, she meets characters of all types, including a series of like-minded dancers, who’ll inspire new movements, engage her in small battles, and teach her to fear, love, laugh and live anew. From the ferry to museums, subways, ball games, bridges, bodegas, graveyards, flower shops, and more, Anne’s journey will bring her far and wide as the city explodes with dance!
