ISTANBUL - The 2nd International Dance Camera Istanbul dance film festival will be in Istanbul from Oct. 15 to Nov. 15. Focusing on video dance, dance on camera, dance photography and dance film screenings, the festival is open to all national and international dancers. The films must not be longer than 15 minutes.
Dance Camera Istanbul annually showcases international dance films, camera re-works and experimental movement-based films by contemporary video artists and choreographers from the student to professional level. There is no restriction on the subject.
The aim of the festival is to build a community for both dancers and filmmakers to come together, to present and promote both local and cutting edge international works, to share ideas and to provide a collaborative experience for dancers and filmmakers as they work together to produce the final product.
The festival will not have a competition section but the top three audience favorites will be announced in the end of the festival.
During the festival, there will be organized discussions between the artists, filmmakers and audience after the screenings. The workshops will be directed by acclaimed national and international dance and video artists, filmmakers and choreographers who will introduce different approaches to camera, dance and movement as well as providing information about video dance history, archives and links for further research. During the festival month, there will also be national and international lectures serious on the dance camera work and the related fields.
Deadline for applications is July 15. To submit work into the Dance Camera Istanbul festival, visit www.dancecamera-istanbul.org.
