Now in it’s fourth season, the Third Coast Dance Festival has its Reno premiere at the Nevada Museum of Art on February 12 at 6 p.m.
Curated by Rosie Trump, Lydia Hance, Ashley Horn and Rebecca Salzar, the Third Coast Dance Film Festival celebrates the intersection of contemporary dance and the moving image with a screening series of short dance films.
The festival screens 18 film shorts, including 13 international films from Canada, Germany, Israel, Mexico, Norway, South Korea, Spain, and the UK. The 90-minute program includes three world, five USA, and 18 Nevada premieres.
Reno resident, co-curator and festival founder Rosie Trump notes, “The festival keeps growing each year, attracting stronger submissions from around the world.”
Dance film is unique in its ability to take dancing off the stage and into real life environments. Audiences will see dancing on desert dunes, elevators, warehouses, ladders, farm fields, and more at this year’s festival.
New this year, the Third Coast Dance Film Festival will honor four outstanding films with awards. There have been three “Best of Festival” awards and a “Spirit of the Third Coast Dance Film Festival” award granted.
The Third Coast Dance Film Festival’s 2012 and 2011 program went on tour, screening at the Kaleidoscope Arts Festival outside of Pittsburgh, Pa. Founded in 2010 by Rosie Trump, the 2014 festival is co-curated by Rosie Trump, Lydia Hance, Ashley Horn and Rebecca Salzar.
The fourth annual Third Coast Dance Film Festival is screening February 12 at 6 p.m. at the Nevada Museum of Art, 160 W Liberty Street, in Reno.
