Southern California-based digital dance creators and emerging artists are invited to submit films for consideration as part of the second PNB Dance Film Festival. The Festival was born from an explosion of digital and dance creativity during the pandemic, resulting in the creation of dance films that expanded the reach of and stretched the boundaries of the dance art form. The Music Center is teaming up with Dance Camera West to present the Festival in Southern California. The free festival will help continue to unite voices within the dance community and forge a more connected and inclusive arts world.

Dance filmmakers are asked to submit a short (four minutes or less) or long (four to 12 minutes, suggested maximum) dance film for consideration by an esteemed panel of industry professionals.
