=====Intro Video Dance Festival=====
'''Video Dance''' started in [[2000]] as an international dance film festival, but soon it widened up to include more kinds of experiment on movement and the moving image.
Celebrating this year its 6th edition.

=====About Video Dance Festival=====

'''Video Dance''' is a festival presenting a showcase of the latest experiments on media and movement or, in other words, at the crossroads of visual arts, enhanced cinema and performing arts.

The screenings, the main festival axis, consist a showcase of films from all over the world presented in thematic programmes. Non-narrative experimental films are being screened along with dance-based films.

As far as it concerns dance films, programming is focused on the special relationship between movement and the [[moving image]], both when it is produced as a result of a choreography for the camera, and when it is produced by the filmmaker's look on the movement.

Special screenings present archival material on the history of movement and the moving image as it is preserved on film during the 20th century. Retrospectives like those on the works by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0220305/ Maya Deren] (2003) or by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0164891/ Shirley Clarke] (2004) give the Greek audience an opportunity to contact the first attempts of the experimental non-narrative cinema to use the movement as its main source.

The live media events zone includes video-performances, performances, live improvisation with sound and image, and other experimental art works involving media and performing arts.

During the festival video-installations related to the film programme themes are exhibited.

The festival takes place in [[Athens]], in mid-September and the film programme is screened in Thessaloniki right after that.

=====More about Video Dance Festival=====
