Frame Rush Festival 2025 Open Call

Frame Rush is an annual festival of screendance works programmed by the MA students at London Contemporary Dance School. The event will be a live sharing of the works in central London with a potential hybrid component.

What is screendance?
Screendance is a combination of art, dance and filmmaking.
We recognise that the one thing we all share is movement. This can be seen in our body's movements and in how we use the camera. While words can sometimes be misleading, the body often tells the truth.

What are we looking for?
This year, we’re excited to invite artists to submit their films that share impactful stories. We’re open to a wide range of themes, including identity, community, culture, political commentary, and social or psychological topics. Don’t worry about the style, technique, or budget—every submission will be given equal consideration. We truly believe in the power of screendance, so we encourage all filmmakers to think about how their work might fit into our festival, whether it showcases dance, movement, or captivating visual imagery.
