F-O-R-M (Festival of Recorded Movement) takes place online to September 18.
FILMS THAT DELIVER strong imagery of the body in motion and uncover choreographic investigations between camera and movement: these are the programming pillars of F-O-R-M (Festival of Recorded Movement).
Now in its sixth year, the event is Vancouver’s first youth-focused movement-on-screen festival and is co-presented by SFU Woodward's Cultural Programs.
F-O-R-M was founded by dance artist Sophia Wolfe, with the support of Company 605 and Kristina Lemieux. Among Wolfe’s goals is to inspire audiences to see movement from new perspectives, with all of the films made by artists in the very early stages of building their creative practices and/or who are new to the process of making movement-based films.
At the heart of the festival is F-O-R-M’s Commissioning Fund Program. This year, it brings together the fest’s largest group of commissioned artists ever, through the support of co-commissioning Partners Co.ERASGA and Tara Cheyenne Performance, Company 605, New Works, and Wild Mint Arts.
The 2021 F-O-R-M features 20 short films from nine countries; nine world premieres by 11 commissioned artists, a FORMations filmmaking jam through Instagram, live artist talks, workshops, and more.
