Philadelphia Dance Projects
Call for Entries
6th Annual Motion Pictures -A Festival of Dance Films
June 18-27, 2008  AT UArts on the Avenue of the Arts, Phila. PA USA

Philadelphia Dance Projects in partnership with Scribe Video Center seek  
new dance films to be part of the 2008 edition of Motion Pictures, a  
non-competitive mini-film festival showcasing documentaries and art  
films that explore choreographic process and creativity.  Film and video  
serve as a natural collaborative medium for dance, highlighting the  
power of image and motion in both. Motion Pictures is co-curated by  
Gretjen Clausing, Program Director Scribe Video and Terry Fox,  
Philadelphia Dance Projects.

Feature length films are considered but we are most interested in short  
films. And Motion Pictures is specifically interested in new short works  
by Philadelphia based filmmakers, dancers and choreographers. Motion  
Pictures showcases films from all over the world presented in thematic  
programs.
