Welcome to Dance on Screen
2006: Tue 31 October - Sun 5 November
http://www.theplace.org.uk
Whether you are a filmmaker
or film aficionado, Dance on Screen ? the UKfs premier dance
film festival ? is your opportunity to see the best in dance
film, and join a forum for new and established artists to
express and share their vision.
This year, we received 280
works, representing 30 countries across the globe. Join us
for 6 days of talks, shorts, documentaries and installations,
presenting the work of well-known filmmakers and choreographers,
as well as fresh new talent emerging now.
The Dance on Screen festival
was established in 1995, in response to a growing trend for
dance artists to create work for film, and for filmmakers
to experiment with movement. The festival has grown in size
as the artform has flourished. In 2004 Dance on Screen presented
over 50 short and feature-length films from around the world,
alongside talks and a masterclass. We took a break in 2005,
and are looking forward to an exciting festival this year.
Dance on Screen is part of the MAD Media and Dance Network.
MAD is a non-profit international
network of media and dance festivals, centres, archives, and
independent curators. Among the main goals of MAD are to serve
as a resource to media & dance artists and programmers
around the world and to establish an exchange of information
and ideas in the field of media & dance.
As representatives of their
national media & dance artists, MAD aspires to explore
different possibilities for both curatorial and artistic collaborations
worldwide. In this way, MAD hopes to promote genres such as
dance screen, dance installations, dance-technology hybrids,
and computer-based dance to new audiences.
