| Press Releases PULSE: A STOMP ODYSSEY CAPTURES TOP TWO AWARDS AT PRESTIGIOUS LE GOEDE FILM FESTIVAL New Large-Format Film from the Creators Of STOMP Collects Festival's Grand Prize and Public's Choice Award Pulse: a STOMP Odyssey, the new large-format film release from the creators of STOMP, continued to gather critical acclaim this week in Paris, receiving La Geode International Film Festival’s Grand Prize as well as its France Inter Public Choice Prize. For the Grand Prize, a jury of filmmaking professionals recognized Pulse: a STOMP Odyssey as the top film out of ten total, and the Public Choice Prize represents the public audience’s selection for best film from the festival’s approximate 30,000 attendees. Pulse: a STOMP Odyssey is a celebration of the global beat, an exploration of the sights and sounds of continents and cultures, guided by the internationally acclaimed performers of the sensational stage show STOMP. Audiences will travel a world brought brilliantly alive on the large-format screen and will discover the universal language of rhythm. The film is a unique and extraordinary large-format film experience – a visual and auditory celebration of diversity and culture, rhythm and humanity. It introduces audiences to percussion groups from locales and backgrounds as disparate as Timbalada of Brazil to the Kodo drummers of Japan, from the American Indian Dance Theater to the Jackie Robinson Steppers of New York. Pulse: a STOMP Odyssey premiered at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City in October 2002, where it has enjoyed a successful and exclusive engagement.
