Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company will present the European premiere of Framing Ménerbes: Film Screening and Reception on June 19, 2025 at 8pm at La Strada cinéma itinérant, Salle polyvalente de Ménerbes, Ménerbes, France. Thanks to the generous support of the Dora Maar Cultural Center and Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company, admission for the screening is free.
Join in for a special evening at the intimate La Strada cinéma itinérant for a film screening and reception celebrating the beauty of Ménerbes and the beauty of dance. Framing Ménerbes frames this stunning village, its natural beauty of far-reaching vistas, mountains, vineyards, and the light for which it is known, taken in through the prism of choreographer and dancer Daniel Gwirtzman, celebrating thirty years as a New York City artist in 2025. Daniel took each photograph and shot each frame of the film, capturing, as he has often said, the dancer who has been with him the longest, himself!
The event promises an unforgettable experience filled with cinematic delights and delicious refreshments. Don't miss out on this unique, one-night only opportunity to discover Ménerbes through the lens of dance film!
SAYS DANIEL ABOUT FRAMING MENERBES: “I was given a huge gift—a residency at the Dora Maar Cultural Center during the summer months--and ran with it, following the sun's trajectory and exploiting it to shoot. Days were long because the days were long. I was up before the sun rose and after it sunk late at night. Knowing the time was limited I pushed myself to get out, into some precarious places at times, and create. Most happily, bounding into Provence with this energy and friends I had met the first time I was there in 2016, there was a level of support, which spread out within the village; sixteen participants of varying backgrounds in dance who were intrigued answered the pied piper's call. The goal of each day was to highlight a place that could be lit by the sun. Framing Ménerbes is the result of this. As a dancer, to be in this shape at this age was a gift as well. I was pushed and I answered my own call as a choreographer. The excitement of this synergy undergirds the film.”
