Impetu's by Lulo Rivero at the Dance on Camera Festival

Lulo Rivero’s documentary “Impetu’s: Flamenco’s Driving Force” makes his New York City debut at the Dance on Camera Festival at the Lincoln Center.

The Dance on Camera Festival celebrates its 46th edition with a wide-ranging selection of 16 programs over five days. A treat for dance lovers of all stripes, the festival offers everything from tap to classical ballet to mime, in films from 17 countries, including documentaries and shorts programs that express the diversity of contemporary dance filmmaking. Impetu’s: Flamenco’s Driving Force (Lulo Rivero, 2017, 5 minutes) premieres within the section Shorts Program: Narrative where the lives of dancers and other artists are explored in thirteen shorts that tell stories through movement. Impetus is a documentary that features dancer Jesus Carmona who tells a story with his own brand of flamenco, filmed in various Miami locations.
