92Y Announces The Mobile Dance Film Festival

From the moment the words "motion" and "pictures" were first paired, dance and film were destined for one another. Now, as mobile technology empowers a new generation of filmmakers, 92Y announces submissions are open for the 92Y Mobile Dance Film Festival, the first dance film festival featuring works shot entirely on mobile devices.

The 92Y Mobile Dance Film Festival explores the magic that happens at the intersection of choreography, camerawork and editing - revealing new dimensions in movement and offering intimate access and up-close perspectives on the physical and spatial dynamics of dance. It's dance and film as never experienced before.

Ten films, selected by an international jury of dance filmmakers, will be screened on Saturday, July 28, 2018, at 92Y Harkness Dance Center.
