Maggie Rowland / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Film and media studies professor Jeffrey Ruoff's new documentary "Still Moving: Pilobolus at Forty" (2012), which will be screened at the College several times over the weekend, tells the story of a unique dance group that has stood the test of time and managed to retain its original qualities from the beginning.
