Video dance is hybrid of film and dance, called “new art form” . The purpose of this paper is to clarify a part of characteristics of video dance piece “Roseland” (1990) by Vim Vandekeybus through film theoretical perspective which is based in “Der Film” (1959) by Bela Balazs. According to this theory, three perspectives were revealed: “Close up; the body in the flame and imagination of invisible body outside the flame”, “Changing viewpoint; synchronization view”, “Editing; re-constructed choreography”. And analysis of “Roseland” shows that these points appeared effectively in the film and characterizes as unique art form. “Close up” focuses on dancer’s detail such as skin and muscles, and fragments of the body makes movement dynamic. “Changing viewpoint” gives audience immersive views and simulation experiences as well as sequence of shots makes rhythm that initiates movement and music. “Editing”; re-constructed choreography creates a great impact that prevents audience’s imagination and make them re-think about the idea of choreography. In conclusion, these characteristics in “Roseland” are part of video dance essence, and it is important to utilize film theory in analyzing video dance.
