STORIES IN MOVEMENT
DANCE FILM DEVELOPMENT LAB
3 - 9 SEPT 2018, BUCHAREST
Bucharest International Dance Film Festival invites dance film creators from Romania, Moldavia, Ukraine, Serbia, Bulgaria and Hungary to apply for a brand new dance film lab, focused on the development of a dramaturgical structure and a clear artistic approach for future dance films.
The lab will help dance filmmakers to further improve their initial idea in workshop sessions with choreographer and filmmaker Helena Jonsdottir (IS) and dance dramaturge and writer Guy Cools (BE) and focus groups coordinated by film producer Anamaria Antoci (RO) and film consultant Alex Traila (RO).
In order to strengthen the connections between the regional creative industries in dance and film, the lab will also be comprised of a series of speed networking and feedback sessions with international specialists in both domains and will conclude in a final pitching session presentation of the future films. Best pitch will be rewarded with a 700 EUR award, offered by the Romanian Cultural Institute.
- Deadline for applications: 22 July 2018
