Guided by Assistant Professor Momar Ndiaye, we celebrated the 10th year of the latest fusions of filmmaking and choreography at DANCE@30FPS—a free program of lively, innovative, and award-winning shorts from around the world initiated by Emeritus Professor Mitchell Rose. The first of two screeenings was held on February 8, 2024 at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Film and Video Theatre. A second screening was offered at the Kenyon College Community Foundation Theater/Gund Gallery on Friday April 5, 2024. 205 films were submitted from 15 different countries and 8 countries were represented in the final selections. The events were planned by Committee Members Momar Ndiaye, Jack Federinko, Alisha Jihn, Grace Koeing, Arie Vasquez, Rachel Wade, Kierra Williams and Ashton Wise.
