FASS FORWARD 2022

International Short Dance Films Festival

The Art of making dance shine on camera

Organized under the umbrella of the Festival des Arts de Saint-Sauveur in 2021, FASS Forward is a digital event that aims to promote short dance films by filmmakers from around the world and demonstrate how the camera can be used to creatively showcase dance.
