Musical movement cinema
A dance film is a movie in which choreographed movement serves as a primary expressive element, not merely decoration.
The term covers everything from Hollywood musicals to experimental shorts where camera work and editing become part of the choreography itself.
The festival featured dance films ranging from ballet documentaries to hip-hop narratives.
