Film Festival
The call for our 2016 festival is now closed.
Please check back in the Spring 2017 for the next call for applications!
The Outlet Dance Project's Dance on Film Festival features a variety of short films directed and/or choreographed by women-identifying artists. This year, the evening-length event will be held on October 28th, 2016 at 7pm. The Friday 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 on October 30th (the live performance portion of the festival).
We seek short dance-films that not only show excellence in this genre, but ideally, have connections to site-specificity, architecture, and/or sculpture as well. The festival is open to women-identifying filmmakers and choreographers everywhere.
Thank you for your interest in being a part of The Outlet Dance Project. Submissions for 2016 are due no later than 11.59pm EST, September 6, 2016. Proposed films should be 15 minutes or less. Though you are welcome to submit works in progress, priority consideration will be given to complete films. If you prefer to send us a DVD, please email us for address instructions. Film applicants will be informed about submission decisions no later than the third week in September. Please see submission guidelines below.
