Screen-Dance is a genre that combines choreography and moving image. This intersection of movement and cinema results in a distinctive, hybrid form of performance art that creates for a magical viewing experience. Dance has been a subject of film since the birth of cinema, but Screen-Dance is now becoming more accepted as a genre in its own right. Particularly in these COVID-19 pandemic times, restrictions on live performing arts have sparked a renewed interest in exploring dance on the screen – both in artists and audiences alike.
The International ScreenDance Festival 2021, in the spirit of being more inclusive, embraces new generations to the festival through the creation of two categories:
· Students of dance, choreography, film from any University.
· Professionals from around the world.
By creating a welcoming environment and fairness in the curative process, we believe that these categories demonstrate equity.
After submission review, the selected films will stream online from three different venues, both nationally and internationally.
