EXPS/SLC is hosted through the School of Dance at the University of Utah. We especially encourage women, queer, non-binary, and disabled creators whose work is rooted in experimental approaches addressing movement, dance, choreography, and/or the body to apply. Please apply if your film incorporates movement or the body, but would not typically be considered "dance" (ie: "Bridges Go Round" by Shirley Clarke, "Tango" by Zbigniew Rybczyński, etc).
