The Cinedans FEST '22 in partnership with dancescreen film competition honours excellence in dance film production. The jury evaluates submitted films on originality + evidence of authorship, content + meaning, originality of concept + clarity of script, synergy between dance + film and camera work and editing as a contribution to this synergy. The quality of choreography + dance, role + meaning of sound and technical execution of the artistic vision are also taken into consideration.
We are overwhelmed by the compilation of dance film productions submitted. Over 580 dazzling dance films are part of the competition for the highly renowned awards and get the chance to win a cash prize with the overall Cinedans FEST + dancescreen Jury Awards. In addition, all submitted dance films can also enter the race for one of the three Cinedans FEST + dancescreen Audience Awards, selected by the public during the festival.
