Hello. We are delighted to welcome you to Kingston and this, the inaugural edition of FRAME: The London Dance Film Festival in association with dancescreen 2016 and supported by BBC Arts and Kingston First. We were invited by Katharina Jeschke of the International Music and Media Centre to be members of the jury for the dancescreen 2013 competition, held as part of the San Francisco Dance Film Festival. Impressed by the wealth of dance and filmmaking talent that we saw, it got us thinking. There was not really a dedicated dance film festival in the UK. We are dancers and filmmakers based in the UK. Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we run our own Festival? How hard can it be? So FRAME: The London Dance Film Festival was born; an opportunity for great dance films to be seen by the public and an opportunity for dance makers, filmmakers and industry professionals to get together and share their ideas, advice and experiences with each other. From the start we wanted FRAME to have something for everyone; from cutting edge new dance films to established classics; from practical seminars to family friendly workshops and events. We are thrilled to be hosting FRAME in association with the dancescreen 2016 competition and look forward to an exciting programme of international dance films across a range of categories. Awards for Best Film and Best Student Film are up for grabs as well as The Muybridge Prize for Technical Innovation, named after Kingston born photography and moving image pioneer Eadward Muybridge. Winners of these awards will each receive a cash prize courtesy of BBC Arts. As it turns out, running your own Festival is quite hard, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had great fun doing it. Special thanks go to all our partners and supporters and our Festival Team, in particular our Festival Director, Joe Bateman and Festival Producer, Christine Hartland. Thanks to everyone involved. We hope you have a great Festival,

Michael Nunn, OBE and William Trevitt, OBE, Artistic Directors

Michael Nunn & William Trevitt, founders of BalletBoyz have been hailed as pioneers for making dance accessible and reaching a wider audience through their celebrated stage and television work. They came to prominence through their popular Channel 4 documentaries Ballet Boyz I & II, Strictly Bolshoi, The Royal Ballet in Cuba, BalletBoyz: The Next Generation and the ground-breaking BalletBoyz: The Rite of Spring for BBC Three. BalletBoyz was formed in 2000 and quickly established itself as one of the most cheekily original and innovative forces in modern dance: revolutionising traditional programming formats, commissioning new work, collaborating with a wide range of cutting edge talents and building a big following through its TV work. The Company’s chief aim is to challenge, excite and entertain audiences through the wide body of work that it carries out. It aims to bring together elements from diverse realms of the arts such as composers, artists, designers, filmmakers and photographers. Since its formation the Company has won numerous awards and nominations including Olivier, TMA and Time Out Awards, two National Dance Awards and a Rose D’Or, International Emmy and Golden Prague Jury Grand Prix for its TV work. In 2013 BalletBoyz won Best Independent Company in the National Dance Awards and Russell Maliphant’s Fallen (commissioned by BalletBoyz) won Best Modern Choreography Award, while Michael Hulls won the 2014 Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Dance for his lighting designs with BalletBoyz.

@framefilmfest

First launched in 1988, dancescreen is now one of the world’s leading international dance film festivals, competitions and conferences. Each dancescreen edition has partnered with an existing dance film festival in the US, UK or Europe, with the aim of maximising local and international attendance, widening people’s perceptions of what dance on screen can be, and developing new audiences. The festival offers the dancescreen competition alongside an eclectic programme of film screenings, panels and pitching sessions and facilitates networking between directors, choreographers and potential buyers including broadcasters, festival curators and media or art institutions from all over the world. In the mid-1980s IMZ recognised that there was a need to create a platform that would showcase a new genre and promote it to TV makers and programmers. With the support of broadcasters – from TV producers, commissioning editors and programme buyers – the first dancescreen was created as a forum for discussion, production and promotion. The festival immediately became a flagship for dance film and video activity. International dance film co-productions between broadcasting organisations such as the BBC and NHK are just one of the legacies of the initiative. Since its foundation the festival has been a vehicle to engage and inspire filmmakers, dance and video artists, distributors and broadcasters. dancescreen festivals have taken place in San Francisco (in cooperation with San Francisco Dance Film Festival 2013), in Amsterdam (in cooperation with Cinedans 2010), in Den Haag (in cooperation with the Holland Dance Festival, Filmhuis Den Haag 2007), in Brighton (2005), in Monaco at the Monaco Dance Forum (2002) and in Cologne at the Media Park (1999). www.dancescreen.com #dancescreen2016

The Vienna-based IMZ International Music + Media Centre is a global networking platform for the performing arts TV and film industry. Founded under the aegis of UNESCO in 1961 it provides customised business opportunities for the various sectors in the performing arts film industry and serves 150 member companies in 26 countries: renowned major production and distribution companies, public and private broadcasters, opera houses, educational institutions, record labels as well as individuals like producers, directors, scriptwriters, musicians and dancers.

The film archive offers IMZ Members’ production loans for international film festivals. The IMZ Member directory offers 10,000 direct contacts to co-production partners, programme editors, experts and decision makers worldwide. Promoting business: IMZ activities and services As the largest international lobbying group the IMZ aims to make a major contribution to its members’ business. Its diverse activities help to save time and costs on acquisition, pitching and networking: connecting producers with buyers and distributors, providing a synopsis of the latest cultural films available for international programme editors and broadcasters while connecting producers with co-producers or funding institutions. As the largest network of the music, dance and cultural TV and film industry the IMZ provides customised services for members and non-members: curating film programmes for international music film festivals and events, consulting for and clearance of film rights.

Dear dancescreen participants, partners and friends, A warm welcome to the 14th edition of dancescreen, the leading international dance film competition! We proudly look back on thirteen successful dancescreen editions, which have taken place with international festival partners from San Francisco to Amsterdam and have connected filmmakers and the arts television industry all around the globe. This year we are honoured to produce the dancescreen competition in association with FRAME: The London Dance Film Festival, presented by BalletBoyz®. An overwhelming number of over 300 dance films were submitted to us from art filmmakers from 47 countries. 47 short listed films are in the running for a dancescreen award, which honours international excellence in dance filmmaking – among both established and aspiring producers. At the IMZ our focus is the promotion of dance and the performing arts through audiovisual media. Therefore dancescreen is designed with the constant aim to bring filmmakers in touch with those who distribute, programme and broadcast art films and thus make them available to ever growing audiences around the world. We thank our partners for jointly working for a comprehensive festival programme to which we look forward to within the next days. We invite you to take advantage of screenings, pitching sessions and networking options and wish you joyful and successful meetings and encounters. Our special thanks go to the BalletBoyz® and FRAME: The London Dance Film Festival, the funders, the jury members, panelists and industry experts. Just the same we thank all of you for participating in the festival and competition, adding to their renowned lively yet productive spirit!

Yours, Katharina Jeschke Director of the IMZ
