50th Anniversary of CABARET

Reflecting on the rich history of dance films, Dance on Camera Festival will close with a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Cabaret. Bob Fosse®’s film adaptation of the Broadway stage musical not only set a precedent for the future of dance films, but also won eight Academy Awards. “We are excited to present Fosse®’s groundbreaking film, Cabaret, which is as powerful today as its release fifty years ago in 1972,” notes Dance Films Association President Ron Honsa. “We couldn’t think of a more fitting tribute to celebrate Dance on Camera’s 50th anniversary than Cabaret—a rare film and a milestone in the explosive growth of dance films. It continues to inspire filmmakers, dancers and audiences to this day.” Cabaret will be screened during the final night of the festival on 35mm film.

“The festival wraps up with a screening of “Cabaret,” Bob Fosse®’s adaptation of the Broadway musical. Like the festival, this film, which won eight Oscars, is 50 years old. It’s fitting to end with an homage to Fosse®, whose spectacular style is magnificent on film, where it cuts to the chase with acid-tipped honesty.”
