ISTANBUL - The deadline for applications to the 2nd International Dance Films Festival / Dance Camera Istanbul Film Festival is July 15. The festival, which was organized for the first time in 2007, will be held this year from Oct. 15 to Nov. 15.
The festival aims to build a community for 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 as they work together to produce the final product. It is open to all national and international participants.
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 the professional level. There is no restriction on the subject, and the films must not be longer than 15 minutes.
The festival will not have a competition, but the top three audience favorites will be announced at the end of the festival. During the festival, there will also 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.
