Working in partnership with Birmingham’s BAFTA-qualifying Flatpack Festival, we present a selection of innovative screendance shorts made by filmmakers and choreographers around the world.
This genre-spanning programme sees dance meet animation (Downfall and True Sound Façade) and documentary (touching tribute to Coventry Baths The Bird and the Elephant), meet horror, in the delightful An Evening with Taglioni.
