Bates Dance Festival is happy to partner with The Flatlands Dance Film Festival to curate an evening of screendance that touches on the themes of containment through space, place, and time as found in Onye Ozuzu’s Space Carcasses. Drawing from finalist submissions from the last three years of The Flatlands Film Festival, a BDF panel has chosen short films that highlight these themes and offer deeper insight into the intersection of dance and media. The selected films will be announced in April.
The Flatlands Dance Film Festival is dedicated to supporting and presenting Dance Cinema, a medium that explores and innovates the intersections between filmmaking and dance making. The festival builds educational platforms, encourages dialogue, and promotes a diverse range of cultural perspectives from around the globe. Learn more about FDFF here.
The BDF/Flatlands Dance Film Festival jury is Natalie Gotter, Onye Ozuzu, Irishia Romaine, and Laura Chiaramonte.
