My lunch with Anna

More than a performance or a film, the project became an extended interview with astonishing moments of exchange.

When  French  choreographer  Alain  Buffard  set  out  to  create  a  film  about  the  legendary American  choreographer  Anna  Halprin,  the  pair  staged  a  series  of  lunches  on  sites that  were  used  for  her  performances,  including  Washington  Square  in  San  Francisco, the  Berkeley  Art  Museum  and  Stinson  Beach.  The  result  is  a  move  away  from  the documentary  form,  nor  merely  a  film  about  dance,  but  instead  a  dialogue  between two  artists  of  different generations  and  geographies.  More  than  a  performance  or  a film,  the  project  became  an  extended  interview  with  astonishing  moments  of exchange.
