Here's how the Migrations' Dance Film programme work:
• Every quarter we curate a short selection of high quality international dance films.
• These are then screened simultaneously in various venues across the country.
• The films are presented on a loop for three months on a variety of platforms, from flat-screens to large projections.
• Venues are normally in public places and includes for example: art galleries, theatres, libraries, shopping centres, cinemas and hospitals.
• We expose this under-represented art form to very large number of new audiences.
• Films are selected by Migrations' Artistic Director or, on occasion, by a specially invited guest curator.
