LOS ANGELES, CA – Dance Camera West’s sixth annual dance film festival features the newest experimental shorts, documentaries, installations and interactive performances on dance from around the world in a month-long series of screenings and events throughout Los Angeles in June 2007.

Dance Camera West (DCW) opens its festival at REDCAT Theater in downtown LA during the first weekend in June, with Screendance: A New Visual Language – An International Collection of Dance on Screen. Opening night screening and party will be held on Friday evening, June 1st starting at 8:00pm followed by two different programs on Saturday, June 2nd at 6:00 and 8:00pm. Focusing on the collision of movement and cinema, these three programs showcase the most innovative examples of this new visual language of dance on screen from around the world.

The REDCAT, Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (Walt Disney Concert Hall Complex) is located at 631 West 2nd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012.
