An outpost to investigate the present in view of the future.

An immersive experience in screen dance.

Crossing borders between choreography, cinema, motion, new technologies, creativity and innovative storytelling.

ZED Festival welcomes international screendance and crossmedia works, with a particular attention to virtual reality and augmented reality technologies, triggering connections between dance and new media. The 2021 edition will expecially foster the role of choreographic composition within screendance productions, through two special dedicated awards: Best Choreography and Best Performer.

ZED Festival aims to become a landmark for screendance in Italy by facilitanting immersive creative processes and programming short films & feature films, 360 ° films, VR / AR performances, talks and workshops.

We invite you to participate and explore new performative places together, nurture individual and collective knowledge and generate explosive synergies.

La call per opere di videodanza è chiusa. Le opere selezionate e premiate saranno visibili nella sezione SELEZIONE ZED 2021 di Zed Festival e sulla piattaforma IVI Interactive Ideas.
