Mission

Screendance Africa develops and produces dance films in a service, co-production and/or production capacity. Screendance Africa endeavours to push the boundaries of dance on screen giving audiences visual and visceral experiences.

This is to elevate the standard and quality of Screendance making in Africa by providing a platform for the crossover of dance and digital media. We aim to push the boundaries of dance on screen by exploring all forms of dance and filmmaking. We aim to curate and present dance film festivals around the continent as well as dance film workshops, labs, lectures, outdoor screening events and residencies.
