Multiplié Dance Film

Since 2015, DansiT has collaborated with Minimalen Short Film Festival on the Multiplié Dance Film programme, presenting a wide range of dance films from around the world.

Multiplié Dance Film takes its name from the Multiplié Dance Festival, where dance is bent and stretched into new, surprising and engaging forms. The encounter between film and dance as artistic expressions creates an exciting art form that DansiT wishes to highlight.

Multiplié Dance Film is curated by DansiT in collaboration with a rotating artistic committee through an open call on FilmFreeway.
