Tickets of 20 Invited Works and 100 Dance Videos Available for One-stop Experience of the Artistic Charm of Dances
  The Beijing International Dance Video Festival of the 12th BJIFF will be held from August 13 to 28, 2022 at Langyuan Vintage.
  Dance video is the mutual integration of dance and film creation. It interweaves the two together intricately in the editing process through the relationship between the camera and the moving subject, presenting a kind of cinema-like dance video. It aims to take dance out of the theater and let the audience feel the infinite possibilities and unique charm of the dancers' bodies from more perspectives.
  It is a hybrid art form and a cross-boundary art language.
  It aims to continuously broaden the communication perspective of film and television art, so that the public can know more about film art forms. This year's BJIFF has added a dance video section and Beijing International Dance Video Festival. It is the first of its kind held in Beijing, which is global in nature and offers open invitations and submissions worldwide.
  The Festival takes "More Love" as the annual theme. In the face of impermanence and change in the post-epidemic era, it advocates for everyone to open to the outside, resonate with the world in harmony, resonate with all directions with spirit, tolerate all love, and project the expression of inner love with dance videos. Let the breath penetrate the screen and the body transcend time and space, and depict the dance rhythm in every frame of life.
  The Beijing International Dance Video Festival features six sections: Extreme Creation, Dancing in the City, Master Talks, Dance Video Workshop, Online Cinema Screen, and Screening in Focus, which breaks the single pattern of traditional dance video festivals, with each section interacting with each other. The way of offline and online interactions allows to show the charm of dance video art on multiple platforms, from various angles and in multiple forms.
  To provide more excellent creative talents with a platform to display their talents, the festival launches a global open call for outstanding entries in dance video and live performance categories, and those shortlisted for the audition after the jury’s selection will be screened in the festival.
  Cao Chengyuan will serve as the president of the final jury for the festival. Since the collection of works, a total of nearly 320 dance video artworks from home and abroad have participated in the audition. Finally, a total of 94 works with the unique style and outstanding artistic expression have been shortlisted for the screening. These works, according to their different temperament and type, are divided into nine sections: "City", "Story", "National style", "Love Without Barrier", "Suspense", "Beyond Definition", "Nature/Life", "Documentary" and "Dance Blind Box", which will be screened from August 13 to August 28 in the "Screening in Focus" section at BJcapital Langyuan.
  In addition to the collection of 94 works, this "Screening in Focus" section will also set up the “Tribute to the Classic” session, two special dance performances "Chinese Ballet” and “Millennium Dance”, various expert forms, expert discussions, and expert evaluations. It will also screen the 18 invited 18 domestic and overseas classic, original and phenomenal dance videos, including the globally-limited 3D version of Pina, the ballet film Ballet in the Flames of War and other works, so that people can travel through time and space in the classic for one-stop experience brought by this unique art form.
