10 YEARS OF PORTLAND DANCE FILM FEST
Ten years ago we started asking what dance film was and what it could be and set out a beacon for the dance filmmakers across this globe to share with us what they are discovering, uncovering, saying, and devoting their creative energy to. For this 10th festival, we are bringing 4 programs to you that are different culminations to that question.
