We are excited to celebrate Dance Camera West's 11th Annual Festival with Dance Media: An Active Spectrum, an international dance media festival and conference bringing together artists, innovators, educators, and the entertainment industry to discuss the increasingly active spectrum of dance media on screen.

As the world of dance and media evolve to include new innovative forms, so does our festival evolve from year to year with changing venues and unique events. For the last decade, we have been partnering with some of LA’s most prominent institutions to present our events as well as unconventional, almost unseemly settings, attracting thousands of audience members each year.

Dance Camera West welcomes dance media in any dance style or genre. Categories include: screendance, short films, features, documentary, installations, and interactive dance media. We look forward to seeing your new work, and if you have something outside the listed categories, please let us know.

Festival will include special student programming (higher education and K-12).  Reduced rates for student submissions are listed below.
