The Artists In Motion Film Festival takes place at The Gem Theater in Bethel, Maine and presented by the Bethel Area Arts and Music and Christina Belinsky Productions. The goal of the festival is to highlight talent local to the New England area that appeals to all ages. Unlike most film festivals, each film receives its own introduction to help guide audience members who may be new to the medium. We find this leads to deeper and more meaningful discussions in the post-screening Q&A. The Artists In Motion Film Festival is seeking dance films, short films and documentaries, animated shorts, and 00:30-1:00 minute digital shorts.

Awards & Prizes

One film will be selected as the audience choice award receiving a cash prize sponsored by local businesses.

Rules & Terms

All film-makers must own the rights to their music in the film. Seeking films that are appropriate for all ages as we aim to keep our festival a family friendly event. Priority will be given to films with a connection to the state of Maine and the Northeast/New England.

    The Artist in Motion Film Festival provides an opportunity for dance films to engage with audiences in a wonderful community. This festival showcases an array of artists with various dance backgrounds. The Q&A afterwards opens the space to speak with some of the dancers or filmmakers and engages the audiences to delve deeper into the artist's aesthetic and creativity. The festival's collaboration with The Gem Theatre makes this a one of a kind festival in a welcoming environment!
