Moderated Screening

August 31, 2015 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm

$10

Moderated Screenings are a service provided for artists to get feedback in a constructive setting. It brings dance filmmakers together to present raw footage, drafts, works-in-progress and newly finished films to their peers for artist-centered, constructive feedback. These sessions are informal showings centered on discussion about the footage being shown, primarily for the artists to get reactions, constructive criticism, and process-related feedback on these works.

Interested in showing your work? Submit your footage to our rolling application!

Email brighid@dancefilms.org with questions about submitting your footage.

Moderated by Yara Travieso
