DANCINEMA
Emerging or unverified festival
DANCINEMA is a dance-and-cinema festival brand founded in 2013 that presents screenings and related events in Washington, D.C. and Vancouver through its Capitol Dance & Cinema Festival and Cascadia Dance & Cinema Festival programs. It is notable for focusing specifically on the intersection of choreography and filmmaking, making it a niche event in the dance film and screendance circuit rather than a general-interest festival.[1][2][6]
