Short films focusing on dance highlight this month’s installment of the series for local artists. Highlights include six compelling collaborations between filmmaker Paul Kruse and dancer and choreographer Jasmine Hearn, in the form of music videos featuring songs either sung by Hearn herself (like the bluesy “Wash”) or prerecorded (the trippy “Orb”). Louis Cappa’s “Objective I” documents an unusual collaboration between choreographers Shana Simmons and Erin Carlyle Norton. And filmmaker Tom Bugaj offers five works marrying his mostly abstract video style to soundtracks by avant-garde musical collective Problemmes de Communication.
