Call for dance films

Submit your dance film for ScreenDance RoadShow’s seventh season!

Submissions deadline: August 10, 2024 via Film Freeway.

ScreenDance RoadShow (formerly Motion State Dance Film Series) invites filmmakers to submit short films (maximum duration 15 minutes) in which dance and cinematography play equal creative roles. We are excited to explore the ever-expanding definitions of "dance" and "choreography," and are open to including films that use adjacent technologies, such as animation, computer graphics and puppetry. Compilations and documentation of live dance performances will not be considered.

2024–2025 season venues will be announced soon. Past venues have included: Columbus Theatre (Providence, RI); Dean College (Franklin, MA); Jamestown Arts Center (Jamestown, RI); Newport Art Museum (Newport, RI); Providence Public Library; School for Contemporary Dance & Thought (Northampton, MA); The Redfern Arts Center (Keene, NH); Zeiterion Performing Arts Center (New Bedford, MA); and more.

Screenings are followed by a Q & A with the curators. Artists in the area are invited and encouraged to take part in the conversation.
