A film by Emmy-award winning artist and filmmaker Elliot Caplan, “15 Days of Dance: The Making of ‘Ghost Light,’” produced and developed at the University at Buffalo, will receive its premiere screening this month at Lincoln Center. Caplan is professor of media study and director of the Center for the Moving Image (CMI), an interdisciplinary initiative of UB’s College of Arts and Sciences and Department of Media Study.

In 2007, the CMI commissioned “Ghost Light,” as a gift from the City of Buffalo to the people of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. Caplan made an 18-hour film to document the creative evolution of the ballet. Excerpts will be presented Oct. 22 at 6 p.m. in the Bruno Walter Auditorium, the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. Read more.
