Announcing a 1-minute dance film challenge!

The Dance/Film Residency is offered by Northwest Film Forum and Velocity Dance Center to an artistic team selected through this year’s Dance Film Challenge, which is a submission category of Local Sightings Film Festival 2019. Teams and individuals are invited to submit one dance film up to 60 seconds in length. The prompt for this year’s Dance Film Challenge is power-sharing.

We encourage artists to use the tools they have: these can be shot/edited on your phone, in the rehearsal studio, on the street, in your room. The value is placed not on the expensive equipment + software you can access, but how you use the instruments and materials you have available.

Audience votes will determine which team or individual receives the residency. The winner will be awarded 20 hours of rehearsal space at Velocity and a matinée slot for an open rehearsal/exhibition/screening at NWFF!

Exact days and times of the residency will be determined based on the mutual availability of the artist and the venue, to be completed before June 2020.

Deadline: July 31, 2019 — use code LOCODANCE to submit
