FIVER AWARDS ()

Festival Start: 09 September 2021      Festival Ende: 24 September 2021

Fiver is an spanish platform for research, education, production and distribution of dance film and new media. Since 2012 we launch, among other actions, the FIVER Awards.

We are looking for all genre fiction, experimental, animation and documentary short films that explore the possibilities of the union between cinema and dance. We look forward for watching new collaborations between filmmakers and choreographers, crazy experiments that use the representation of the body on the screen and unique stories that work with movement to break narrative boundaries.

We invite you to submit your works, hoping to discover fresh and unique visions, the incorporation of new techniques, and moments that breathe life.

Geldpreise: 4,000€

This year we will share 4.000€ in prizes.

More prizes and special sponsorships may be announced in the coming months.
