31 Aug San Francisco Dance Film Festival

The San Francisco Dance Film Festival, tentatively scheduled for March 15-18th, 2012, is now taking submissions!

What they are looking for:

We are looking for dance films made specifically for the camera, often referred to as “screendance.” These are stand-alone pieces independent from the stage that can range from traditional narratives to experimental collages, and may include the use of animation or other technologies. This year, we are also adding a dance documentary category to our programming, and encourage entries with a creative approach to capturing the choreographic process.
