Martin and Facundo Lombard delivered the best moment of the Woodstock Film Festival to this point.
It happened last night at the Friday Night Filmmaker?s Party, and it seemed bound to happen. The Lombards, twin 35-year-old Argentinean men, wear bandanas, hoodies and jeans. They?re not your normal filmmakers, if we were to suggest what a ?normal? filmmaker looks like. They look like street dancers. But that?s because they are.
Martin and Facundo dance. They?ve been dancing about 10 years in a style of ?free expression.? That means they don?t restrict themselves to styles or definitions. They just dance. To whatever music. They dance.
They made a film about it, called ?Free Expression? (you can see it on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS0z4UwIjHs, but it doesn?t do the guys justice), which is screening before ?The World?s Finest Chef.? And they?ve been hanging out at the festival, talking to whomever, showing off some dance moves, just being a part of the vibe. And so, of course, the Lombard twins fit perfectly into this patchwork we call Woodstock.
?It feels like I?ve lived here for years,? Facundo said at Friday Night Filmmaker?s Party. He and Martin were taking a break by shoveling down rice and chicken gumbo, but they didn?t mind talking about dance. They love talking about dance. Meira Blaustein interrupted our conversation, asking the twins if they could dance wherever during the party, just in between people, whatever felt good. Instead, they opted to put on a tap dance show.
And what a show.
A semi-circle of about 200 gathered as the Lombard twins took a makeshift stage in front of the stage at the Saugerties Performing Arts Factory. They wore piercing white tap shoes. They put the microphones on the hardwood. And they danced. Improvisational. A capella. Two brothers, just tap dancing in rhythm and melody. For about 10 minutes they danced, and the crowd stood in awe, cheering, clapping, gasping. It was pretty transcendent.
When it ended, and the crowd blew the roof off the place, the Lombard twins, sweat pouring from their bandanas, embraced and bowed. Later Blaustein would join them for pictures against the festival photo backdrop. Easily the coolest moment of the festival so far. Free expression. Woodstock. Couldn?t have been more perfect.
