Join Dance at Illinois for the annual Flatlands Dance Film Festival: Film Shorts Competition
Friday, January 24 at 7pm at Spurlock Museum for World Cultures.
Tickets available at the door. $10 general admission, $5 students/seniors
The film competition, a much-anticipated event that captivates audiences, presents a vibrant selection of dance films from diverse cultures around the world. Each film serves as a unique exploration of movement and storytelling, skillfully pushing artistic boundaries and artfully blending the visual language of cinema with the emotional depth of dance. This year, we are excited to feature a distinguished panel of adjudicators: Associate Teaching Professor Betsy Brandt, a noted interdisciplinary dance educator, dramaturg, and writer; Assistant Professor Elliot Reza Emadian, an innovative interdisciplinary artist, teacher, and scholar; and Esteban Donoso, an accomplished researcher, artist, and scholar with expertise in dance, performance, and film. After the screening, the director of the festival, Laura Chiaramonte will announce the festival winner. Meanwhile, the Audience Award will reflect the enthusiastic input of our audience, making your voice a vital part of the festival experience!
