Submit a Film

As the world of dance, film and dance media evolve to include new innovative forms, so does our festival and our organization evolve to include new venues, new events and new audiences. We are always interested in seeing everything that the dance film world has to offer and encourage you to send us your work. We now take submissions throughout the year.

Our call for submissions includes experimental shorts, documentaries (features as well as site specific) installation and interactive dance media works.

Entry fee can be paid with check/money order in US dollars to Dance Camera West and mailed in with your submission, or use a credit card here on the website.
