A silent color film of Martha Graham dancing extracts of "Lamentation".

Filmed in 1943 at Bennington College by Russian-born sculptor Simon Moselsio. His wife, who took still photos of the same piece, explained ""We used two movie cameras for the motion picture, so we could take the picture from different angles.... I had the still camera around my neck and made the stills at the same time."

    This brought me to tears. My goodness, how incredible and moving. I could actually feel the sorrow and the desperation and I can't imagine that I am alone in this. Thank you, Martha. You will never know the extent to which this has moved me.

    it's supposed to be this ultra expressive, innovative alternative to ballet, and instead I just find it even less relatable and current than ballet.

    Creo que no se trata de cuál se vio más cool ;). En cualquier caso ésto fue filmado en 1943, y la primera presentación fue en 1930. Trece años de diferencia. D.R.
