The Broad Stage is presenting a unique drive-in experience with “Dance Camera West Drive-In, Best of the Festival.” The festival will showcase the very best dance films from around the world on the big screen with two different programs on Sat, Jan. 30, and Sunday, Jan. 31, outdoors at the Santa Monica College Bundy Campus – East Parking Lot.

The “Drive-In” programs are a unique selection of the top-ranked dance films of 2021, serving as the grand finale of the month-long annual Dance Camera West festival.

These films – a medium where energy, vitality, movement, music, cinematography and the passion of choreography come together – were chosen out of the 260 festival entries from over 35 countries internationally.

The lineup for “Dance Camera West Drive-In, Best of the Festival” includes films which will premiere for the first time in Los Angeles, if not the entire country or world. The films range from dance in wide open landscapes to those sheltering in place at home, all reflecting the times we are experiencing with COVID-19. It is a way to experience the outdoors in new ways and from different vantage points while spotlighting the artist’s experience of confinement.
