Watch dance short film from all over the world during Multiplié Dance Film 2024!

DansiT continues the great collaboration with Minimalen Short Film Festival on the dance film program Multiplié Dance Film, established in 2015. The program is based on the unique profile of Multiplié Dance Festival, where art of dance is bent and stretched into new, surprising and engaging forms. After several years of steady rise in local, national, and Nordic contributions, we expanded Multiplié Dance Film with its own Nordic program in 2022.

For this year’s program, DansiT received 299 dance films from all over the world. The selection was made in collaboration with an external artistic committee which this year consisted of dance artists Nina Wollny, Sebastian Tjørstad og Mathias Stoltenberg.

For the sixth time, a Best Film will be selected from the international program, as well as for the third time from the Nordic program. The winners are selected by an external jury of professionals and receives a prize of 1000 euros. 

This year’s jury consists of: Karstein Solli (Dance Artist), Øystein Moe (Director & D.O.P.) og Hanna Fauske (Visual Artist).

The 36. Minimalen Kortfilmfestival takes place in Trondheim 23. – 28.  January 2024.
