Overview

Austin Dance Festival presents Dance on Film is an annual Austin-based screening program within the larger Austin Dance Festival that showcases dance-centered films and video works. It is notable for curating a dedicated film component alongside live dance showcases, emphasizing works that use choreography, cinematography, and movement invention rather than simply documenting stage performances. The program is presented in a traditional movie-theater setting and is part of a broader festival known for modern, post-modern, contemporary, experimental, and improvisational dance.[2][5]
