Velocity Dance Film Festival Now Accepting Submissions

For the first year Next Dance Cinema will be accepting submissions from around the globe! Artists are invited to submit innovative examples of screen dance that reflect the body in motion or dance­based performance. Next Dance Cinema is part of Next Fest NW, Velocity's annual new works series celebrating what's happening in

contemporary dance performance and cinema. Selected works will be screened at 7 pm on either December 9 or 10 at the Northwest Film Forum.

Video will be accepted in the following categories: staged work remade for the camera (not documentation), choreography created specifically for the camera, as well as the moving body articulated through animation and new media.
