Cinedans International Film, Dance and Media Festival is a unique festival – both in The Netherlands as well as abroad. Dance films are the central focus during this festival. Cinedans describes a “dance film” as a true synthesis between two different media – dance and cinematography. At Cinedans the emphasis will lie on choreographies which were created specifically for filming and on special film adaptations of existing dance performances. Furthermore, a selection of special documentaries and retrospectives will be shown. During this festival approximately forty to fifty (short) films from all over the world will be screened. In addition to the film programme, there will be readings, debates and workshops to attend.
In the ever changing landscape of media, the creators are increasingly seeking different ways of telling their stories. New media and modern technology have entered the scene – and hence there are new possibilities and changing insights. Dance film is no longer “movement on the black screen”, new forms are developing: installations, video clips, interactive projects … Contemporary “dance films” are often autonomous pieces of art with a language of their own and an expressiveness which cannot be pigeonholed. Cinedans closely follows this movement. In addition to the film programme, Cinedans focuses on different forms of cross-over projects and media installations with movement as it’s main subject.
Cinedans is an annual festival which takes place in the month December in Amsterdam.
Cinedans also organizes “Cinedans on tour” and travels across the world to screen a selection of the film programme. Throughout the year Cinedans offers education projects to secondary schools.
