The second edition of the liveliest cinema event of the fall, Bucharest International Dance Film Festival (BIDFF), will unfold during 9-13 November, 2016.
This year, BIDFF is to screen dance movies (within and outside the competition), to set up presentations and conferences delivered by guest artists, as well as to organise an installations' exhibition and the Galateca Gallery.
The competition is dedicated to shorts (fiction, animation, documentary) and to installations, offering awards amounting to EUR 3,000. Within the “
off competition” programme, full-length fictions and documentaries will be screened.
In 2016, the theme of Bucharest International Dance Film Festival is the digital body, being envisaged the video works debating the duality between essence an expression and the constant insecurity in the digital era.
Thus, the organisers started the call for entries for shorts in which the movement captured and transformed through the lens takes the form of
art house films, revealing us more or less encoded significances, where the viewer may enter a dynamic exchange of information on social and political life, on strong emotions, natural and urban landscapes. “We encourage syncretism and dialogue between dance and various cinema genres, from the narrative ones to the more experimental. The competition is addressed to films of maximum 15 minutes, produced over the last two years and of a minimum Full HD quality,” Simona Deaconescu, the Festival's selector, stated.
Bucharest International Dance Film Festival is set up by the Tangaj Dance Association and sponsored by AFCN – the National Cultural Fund Association, by ARCUB – the National Cultural Centre of the Bucharest Municipality and Bucharest Town Hall, as part of the programme developed under the title “Bucharest - The In-Visible City”, with the support of the Austrian Cultural Forum. The Festival's strategic partner is the Romanian Cultural Institute, and main partners are the National Dance Centre of Bucharest and Galateca Gallery.
