Dance Film Lab Events at Dance New Amsterdam
Organized and directed by Zach Morris of Third Rail Projects, the Dance Film Lab is a community-building, monthly series for dance filmmakers to gather; share information, methods, and tools; and address technical, practical and artistic challenges.
The Lab has three distinct facets:
- Moderated Screenings, which bring dance filmmakers together to present raw footage, drafts, works-in-progress and newly finished films to their peers for artist-centered, constructive feedback.
- Practicum Sessions where artists gather for hands-on, in-depth skill-building centered on peer-to-peer exchanges of techniques, methodologies and knowledge.
- Master Classes led by top professionals focusing on filming/production, post-production and distribution.
Dance Film Lab is a program of Dance Films Association, hosted by Dance New Amsterdam, and funded by LMCC’s Fund for Creative Communities.
The Lab is free to all DFA and DNA members– with DFL Masterclasses offered at the significantly discounted rate of $10.
