DANCE ON SCREEN

The Places’ Dance on Screen festival is now in it’s ninth year. It features screenings of new work by some of the finest dance film makers from around the world - International Screenings - as well as providing a showcase for emerging artists at the Open Forum. There is a program of work to challenge the notion of what dance film is - alongside work from film and television at Dance Flicks.

In addition there are presentations by some of the key players in the dance film world, including directors, choreographers, producers and funders in Insights.

Watch out for One Minute Wanders - the fourth series of extremely short dance films that will be premiered at Dance on Screen. Don't miss Club 18/25 (frames per second) - a cocktail  of film, music and dance . And new to the festival, an afternoon of  dance documentaries  - Dance in the Doc.
