Dance on Camera Festival
CO-PRESENTED BY THE FILM SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER & DANCE FILMS ASSOCIATION
Inaugurated in 1971, and co-presented with the Film Society of Lincoln Center since 1996, Dance on Camera is the longest-running dance film festival in the world. Each year, DOCF screens an array of dance films from imaginative, genre-stretching shorts to documentaries that shed light on untold stories and lost histories, alongside exciting narrative features, retrospective selections, and special events including filmmaker panels, cutting edge media and art installations, and free community and student programs.
By providing valuable infrastructure and serving as an international hub for the genre of dance film, Dance on Camera Festival encourages the proliferation of media that forges unique visions, generates collective dialogue, celebrates inclusion, and convenes diverse audiences. As we’ve seen interest in dance on film grow over the course of Dance on Camera’s rich history of programming in NYC - and especially as emerging technology advances artistic and multi-disciplinary exploration - the festival will continue to adapt to meet the needs of dance film artists and our community.
