Light Moves Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
Light Moves Festival is Limerick’s festival of screendance and dance film, founded as Ireland’s first event dedicated to dance on film and now expanded to include new media, sound, live performance, talks, and installations. It is notable for bridging choreography and screen-based practice, presenting short films, feature works, and experimental pieces by Irish and international artists, and for its strong reputation in the international dance film circuit as a platform for both established and emerging makers.[2][6][10][19]
