Practice & Potential Edition

From 8 to 10 March Cinedans FEST is celebrating its 16th edition in Eye Amsterdam and Playground in A-Lab. This will be the second time that Cinedans is hosting a shorter Practice & Potential edition of the festival, focussing on research, development and innovative processes and technologie in dance film.

Besides national and international dance films and documentaries, we invite visitors to experience VR-dance projects, presentations, debates and workshops. With pride we present the International Student Dance Film Competition for the fifth time, supported by Canon Nederland.

Other highlights include the first feature-length dance film by director Clara van Gool – The Beast in the Jungle, the Dutch premiere of In Motion, about the world-famous dancer and choreographer Louise Lecavalier, Mitten about the acclaimed choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and her company Rosas, Play Serious about the rising star in the international dance world, Alexander Ekman and a very special retrospective of the work of Maya Deren.

Additionally, we will present several installations created by students from the Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU), which were developed as a collaboration between HKU and Cinedans LAB.
