About the festival

Spring Dancefilm Festival main goal is to show the latest dancefilm trends from all around the world, with quality films in a wide budget range. In addition, it aims to sensitise those who are unfamiliar with or less informed about new ways of making cinema: stories can be explained through the body movement and cinematography. We want to culturally enrich Cerdanyola -our town- and surroundings, so do not charge any fee to the present public for watching the films.

Now, we also screen online the films!

This festival is organised by a non-profit association, Plat Artístic, without sponsors or any other resources more that the money we, as a individual people and members, have. That means that the prize may depend of the quantity of (paying) submissions we get.

Symbolic cash reward to the following “best”:
--> The Best Dancefilm
--> The Best Docudance
--> The selected longer film

Moreover, all the selected films will receive a Laurel as Official Selection of the Spring Dancefilm Festival.

Unfortunately, we can’t hold yet an awards ceremony. And we can’t grant any travel/accommodation expense if the selected author(s) films want to be present at the festival.
