Desk stills 02

Ready/Set/Go! announces the first ever Austin Movement Film Festival, June 11th, 12th and 13th, 2015. The festival seeks to present a diverse collection of short films that celebrate and explore human movement. Submitted work should demonstrate a thoughtful collaboration between movement and film. We are not looking for archival footage, or film of stage dance, but for work created in new settings and made for the camera, work that is site specific, highlights experimentation, visual intimacy and attention to detail. We welcome work by student, emerging and established artists. Films of any genre - experimental, documentary, animation, narrative, - are welcome, as long as movement (of any genre) is a strong component.

Awards & Prizes

Selected filmmakers will receive cash awards of up to $200.
