The kNOwBOX dance Film Festival (NBFF) is an international dance film festival with multi-country live screening events followed by an international spring tour. NBFF 2019 premiered in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico and Dallas, Texas, USA screening eight international selected films.
NBFF is interested in curating dance films that explore an innovative approach to collaboration, mixed media, and interdisciplinary filmmaking. NBFF seeks dance-related films that challenge the possibilities of what dance can look like in video form. This year for NBFF 2020, we will open three categories;
+Short Series- Current Issues Dance Shorts (BLM, COVID-19, Equity, Social, Environmental, Political, other issues)
+say NO to the BOX- Dance Film General Submission
+#Dancebehindthescreen- Dance Documentaries
This year the festival hashtag is: #NBFF_2020
