Calling all dance filmmakers and performers! The kNOwBOX dance Film
Festival (NBFF) 2025 is now accepting submissions for innovative dance
films, live performances, and VR experiences. We seek works that push
creative boundaries, amplify diverse voices, and explore the
intersection of movement, technology, and culture.
Art Film Submissions: Showcase your vision on screen and connect
with global audiences through a dynamic festival experience.
Live Performance (3-60 minutes): Submit a video excerpt of your live
dance performance for a chance to present your work in Dallas, Texas
(USA), Mexico City, or Seoul, Korea. Selected artists will receive a
follow-up application to propose performances that integrate cultural
perspectives or cutting-edge technology—whether through the
exploration of traditions, digital elements, or multimedia innovation.
(Note: kNOwBOX dance cannot provide travel/accommodation funding but
will offer a small honorarium.)
360°/VR Dance-Inspired Art Film (1-15 minutes): Immerse audiences in
a fully realized, interactive dance experience. These films utilize
virtual reality and 360° technology to push the limits of how dance
can be felt and experienced in a digital space. Created specifically
for VR platforms, submissions may include shorts, narratives,
experimental works, animation, and documentaries—offering a
groundbreaking, multi-dimensional perspective on dance.
Join us in reimagining how dance is experienced across film, stage,
and virtual spaces. Submit your work today!
