Mile Zero Dance has been promoting and presenting dance films since 2009, and our biennial festival, REELING: Dance on Screen, is designed to highlight artists from local to international. We love artists who are devoted to capturing the moment of movement through the lens, translated into a different medium and language that transcends borders.

For this summer's festival, MZD is bringing together two weeks of immersive spectacles of film by directors and choreographers from around the world, including:

– A curated program of dance films curated by Vancouver's Matriarchs Uprising, featuring Indigenous female choreographers
– MZD's curation of twenty-six national and international shorts
– A late night outdoor screening by MZD and FAVA
– An opening celebration event in collaboration with Sokaris Studios on July 19th!

For ease and accessibility, all of our films will be released over a five-day period and accessible online until August 15th, and the highlight selection will be on the big screen on July 26th.

REELING Early Bird | $50 until May 11
REEING ALL ACCESS PASS | $80 (includes opening party, two weeks of classes and closing event)
Festival Party on July 19 | $25/$20 Members

In addition, we are again hosting a two week intensive of Radical Dance Classes for all levels of movers. This will feature two classes daily, and styles range from: West African dance, contemporary dance, group improvisation techniques, ballet, hip hop, flamenco, Lindy hop, Polynesian, Mexican folkloric, and more! Additional artistic development courses include music for dance by Will Scott, and a four-session course in dance filmmaking by Jen Mesch. Join us for two weeks filled with dance and surprise!
