Screendance Africa will be curating a selection of African dance films for the
Tanzrauschen Festival in Germany, to be screened at a “Looping Cinema’
at the festival, taking place from 28 to 31 January 2016. Screendance Africa
welcomes any genre of dance on screen: dance video, narrative or non-narrative,
experimental, student and/or professional. Screendance Africa is looking for dance

intention, that use the dance, location(s), choreography, camera movement and the edit to activate this.
