Inaugurated in 1971 and considered the “mother” of dance film festivals, the annual Dance On Camera Festival present a broad range of films including documentaries, shorts, features, and experimental works that celebrate the immediacy of dance combined with the intimacy of film. In 1996, Dance Films Association and the Film Society of Lincoln Center partnered to co-present the Dance on Camera Festival, hosting screenings at the Wlater Reade Theater and for the first time during the 40th Anniversary in 2012, at the new Elinor Bunin Monore Film Center.
Overt the course of the past two decades, DFA has worked with over one hundred touring partners around the world, providing a source of revenue and distribution for numerous filmmakers. Learn more about the touring program here.
Past partners have included Movement Research, the Baryshnikov Arts Center, and The Big Screen Project.
The 2012 Dance on Camera Festival was made possible with the generous support of the National Endowment for the Arts, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, New York State Council on the Arts, Consulate General of Spain in New York, Cultural Department of the Consulate General of the Netherlands, Japan Society, Cultural Services of the French Embassy and the members of DFA.
