Dance for Modern Times is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Moze Mossanen and released in 1987. [1] The film depicts contemporary dance through profiles of the work of choreographers Christopher House, David Earle, James Kudelka, Ginette Laurin and Danny Grossman. [2] The film had originally been pitched to TVOntario and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as a six-part television series, with the CBC ultimately commissioning it as a documentary film. [3]
The film premiered at the Bloor Cinema in Toronto on November 27, 1987, [2] and had a limited theatrical run in other markets before being broadcast by CBC Television in March 1988. [4] Television critics criticized the CBC for running the film on a Sunday afternoon, calling it an excellent film that deserved a much bigger audience than it was likely to garner in that time slot. [4]
The film received a Genie Award nomination for Best Feature Length Documentary at the 9th Genie Awards in 1988. [5]
