The University of Utah Department of Modern Dance and the Division of Film Studies are pleased to announce a call for submissions of original student dance works made specifically for the medium of video or film. An evening of student works will be presented on Thursday, September 10, 2009, in conjunction with the International Dance for the Camera Festival. Students of the University of Utah’s Department of Modern Dance and Division of Film Studies will present an evening of student works chosen from submissions from around the world. Selected by a jury of professionals and educators in the field, the adjudication process provides valuable feedback to submitting students. The adjudicated evening provides young filmmakers and choreographers a venue for their work, and provides audiences a glimpse of the work of future dance filmmakers from around the world. Being accepted are:


- Choreography for the Camera - original work made specifically for the video/film medium or staged work remade for the camera (performance documentation will not be adjudicated)

- Documentary - productions which include interviews or other educational elements in addition to choreography

- Experimental/Digital Technologies - work that extends the boundaries of the medium and exists only in the realm of video, film or new technologies

Students submitting works must be or have been enrolled in a full-time university undergraduate or graduate degree program, or a dance film workshop when the work was made. The postmark deadline for national and international submissions is 5:00 pm, Wednesday, July 15, 2009. There is no submission fee. Only Region 1 or All Region DVD formats will be accepted.
