Los Angeles, United States · Multiple structural red flags — exercise caution before submitting
Dance in Focus Film Festival: REFLECTIONS is a Los Angeles dance film showcase presented by The Music Center in association with Dance Camera West. It is notable for inviting Southern California filmmakers to create short dance films that explore autobiography and self-portraiture, tying the program to the themes of Frida Kahlo and the U.S. premiere of *Frida* by Dutch National Ballet. Its significance lies in its curated public screenings and workshops that support local dance-film artists and connect dance cinema to a major performing arts venue.
