Choros
Posted by Fabio 6 March 2013
Michael Langan and Terah Maher combine music, dance, and image multiplication to create a film that enhances our perception of motion. “Choros” delivers a visually mesmerizing narrative in three movements, following a dancer’s (Maher) experience of discovery, euphoria, and rebirth through this surreal phenomenon. Featuring music from Steve Reich’s “Music for 18 Musicians.”
MICHAEL LANGAN is an American experimental filmmaker. His films have screened at over a hundred film festivals worldwide garnering top awards, including a Student Academy Award nomination for “Doxology.” Langan’s innovation at the boundary of live action and animation has been praised as “confounding and fascinating” by The New York Times and “inventive” by The Atlantic. He is an “IFC Icon” and was featured as one of “10 animators poised to become household names” by Variety. Past clients include Nike, Skoda, Samsung, Art.com, and Pepsi.
