When is the last time you took a photo with an old-school camera -- the kind that doesn't have a wireless connection, needs to be loaded with finicky rolls of film and is too bulky to slide into a back pocket? Unless you are a professional photographer or an artist, it has probably been a while. Most people have abandoned film cameras for digital models or, more recently, smartphones outfitted with lens accessories and apps like Instagram that make photo-sharing extremely simple.

An attractive woman dances alone, arching her spine and stretching her limbs in expansive yearning. Suddenly a man's hand, from behind, touches her shoulder, her spine, her arm. We know he answers her longing. Yet we also know she's alone. The man is her imagination. Or is he ours? This scene occurs in ''The Rain,'' a 2007 film directed and choreographed by Pontus Lidberg of Sweden that was shown at the New Museum on Friday and Saturday as part of a Dance on Camera presentation of new shorts. (Though Mr. Lidberg's work may not be known in New York, he worked in August with Christopher Wheeldon and his Morphoses company in Vail, Colo.) Memorably ''The Rain'' illustrates what filmed dance can say that staged dance cannot. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

At the busy height of his unlikely career Elliott Gould was as much an embodiment of the times as a movie star. As the 1960s faded into the '70s, Mr. Gould appeared in role after role that seemed to crystallize the ideals and anxieties of the era. He played a reluctant swinger and an avid philanderer in the free-love comedies ''Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice'' (1969) and ''I Love My Wife'' (1970). With opposition to the Vietnam War cresting, his character in ''MASH'' (1970), the irreverent Army medic Trapper John, became an instant anti-establishment hero. Within days of the Kent State shootings he was on screens as a radicalized graduate student in ''Getting Straight'' (1970). [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
