Episode 13: Amy Seiwert and Ben Needham-Wood

October 08, 2021 • San Francisco Dance Film Festival • Season 1 • Episode 13

2020 was a special year for Amy Seiwert’s Imagery as it marked the 10th anniversary of the Company’s SKETCH series. The company had planned planned SKETCH 10 : WRECKED, which would have brought in six choreographers, including Seiwert and choreographic fellow Ben Needham-Wood, to work in pairs to “wreck” or edit each others work. In response to the changing art landscape due to COVID-19, we instead produced four documentary dance films, entitled SKETCH FILMS: Red Thread. Two of these films will be screening as a part of the twelfth annual San Francisco Dance Film Festival.

Coral spoke with Amy and Ben about the process of producing films that were created around the country as well as the weighty topics the films address.
