Celebrate With Us in 2024!
Screen Dance International is excited to celebrate its seventh year in 2024! We are a nonprofit organization that uses its platform to support dance filmmakers, cultivate creativity, promote dance arts, and showcase diversity in the making and screening of dance films. SDI strongly believes in using our digital platform and medium to connect cultures, encourage conversations, and provide inspiration to all. SDI supports a wide range of movement forms including street dance, contemporary dance, ballet, dance theatre, jazz, tap, animation, experimental and other forms of movement of interest to the filmmaker.
SDI connects filmmakers with audiences around the globe through its adjudicated screenings of dance films. As a nonprofit organization connected to an international community, we take a strong stand in condemning systemic racism of all forms, and support all of our BIPOC colleagues, artists, filmmakers, and dancers. SDI is open to suggestions and feedback on programming, adjudication and more in an effort to maintain transparency, honesty, and connection with the audiences and creators it serves.
