​The Outlet Dance Project's Dance on Film Festival features a variety of short films directed and/or choreographed by artists who identify or have identified as women. This year, the evening-length event will be held on October 3rd, 2019 at 7pm. The Thursday evening screening will be followed by a brief Q & A with the filmmakers and choreographers (attendance is not required.) At least two films will be selected to also be screened throughout the day during the weekend of October 5-6th (the live performance portion of the festival).

​

We seek short dance-films that not only show excellence in this genre, but also, have connections to site-specificity, architecture, and/or sculpture as well. The festival is open to filmmakers and choreographers everywhere who identify or have identified as women. 

​

Submissions for this year are due no later than 11.59pm, August 25th, 2019. Proposed films should not exceed 15 minutes. ​If your film is selected, you must provide a downloadable high-resolution file (1080p) for the final line up upon selection.​

 

You may submit up to two film proposals per application fee. If you are submitting two films with your application, if you are using FilmFreeway to submit, please include a link to the second film within the body of your application (if you have trouble submitting your 2nd film, please email us the link to your 2nd film).

​

Whether or not your film is selected, you will be entitled to a complementary ticket for the Thursday evening event as part of your application fee.
