InShadow - Lisbon Screendance Festival
Open Call 2021
InShadow promotes the encounter of languages used within video/cinema and dance/performance, suggesting a reflection to a cine-choreographic way of thinking, where relations between experimental tendencies and the use of technologies can be explored.
InShadow seeks, within the world of imagination, the dialogue between different cultures.
It purposes an assimilation of experiences, methods and knowledge, increasing dual relations as thought/action and creativity/innovation.
Our yearly program includes international competitions of screendance, dance-related documentary films and animations, in addition to performances, workshops, masterclasses, exhibitions and installations.
Submission fees go towards allowing the festival to subsist and as a means to support featured filmmakers to join us every year.
