Spring Dancefilm Festival main goal is to show the latest dancefilm trends from all around the world and we aim to sensitise those who are unfamiliar with or less informed about new ways of making cinema: stories can be explained through the body movement and cinematography. Now, we also screen online!

In this edition we propose a special category: Filmdance express. From a simple plot line, create a short filmfance piece. Check the description and try to participate!

Laurel as Official Selection for all selected shortfilms and oportunities to be screened in other places + Symbolic cash reward to the "Best" of each competitive category

We want to culturally enrich our town -Cerdanyola- and surroundings, so we do not charge any fee to the present public for watching the films. Unfortunately, we can’t hold yet an awards ceremony. And we can’t grant any travel/accommodation expense if the selected author(s) films want to be present at the festival.

We accept any film created from TWO YEARS AGO AND ONWARDS may participate in the festival. Films participating in the festival are not required to be a premiere, as well as films screened elsewhere and/or published on the Internet. Unfinished projects are not accepted.

Please, read the descriptions of the categories and choose which one is closest to your film.

We require at least English, French or Spanish audio or subtitles for the selection process if needed (languages other than the mentioned).

The author(s) of each film must have both the authorship of the film and the rights of other content of third persons appearing in the film.

  • Un pequeño festival, pero muy prometedor, pues la gente que trabaja en el son muy profesionales y cuidan mucho a los creadores, informando en todo momento de la agenda de proyecciones y de otros detalles.

    El festival fue muy bien, y a la gente le gustaron mucho los cortos de este año, algo más narrativos.
