BESESSED WITH LIGHT brings back the curtain on Loïe Fuller (1862-1928), a wildly original performer who pioneered modern dance, fusing fabric and movement to create a whole new way of seeing. Creating a dialogue between past and present, filmmakers Sabine Krajenbühl and Zev Oelbaum delve into the astonishing influence of Fuller’s work on contemporary culture many others. “A rich tapestry of discovery by a passionately committed mover and shaper of light and form,” (Eye On Dance) OBSESSED WITH LIGHT is a meticulous study of a woman who became famous in her own words—unapologetic about her body type, open about her sexuality and protective of her signature, often-imitated style.
