BIDF & Flatpack Screendance Competition

Missed our Screendance competition programme at the festival this year? Fear not, there's another opportunity to catch it online as part of Birmingham International Dance Festival.

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. You'll also get to see our Screendance Award-Winning film Knot which uses cut-out animation to magical effect.
