DANCESCREEN: AWARDING EXCEPTIONAL DANCE FILMS
dancescreen is designed to add the major international brands in the art film production, distribution and broadcasting sector to local dance film festivals. It is both competition programme and industry conference providing international recognition of awarded film productions as well as the immediate connection and utilisation through the broadcasting industry.
2016 dancescreen partnered up with FRAME: The London Dance Film Festival, hosted by the BalletBoyz. The stunning live performance by the BalletBoyz made a final chord like a drumbeat along with the dancescreen highlight: the award ceremony.
