The Screendance Film Series is back for RADFest 2026, showcasing bold, boundary-pushing works from across the globe! 🎬✨Dance Film explores choreography created for the camera, offering layered perspectives on movement, storytelling, and place. RADFest is thrilled to present Dance Film screenings at our downtown Kzoo partner, KP Cinemas (@kpcinemas) for the second year in a row.
This year’s program features seven outstanding films by accomplished screendance artists, each rooted in embodied experience, personal history, and emotion. Together, they offer intimate, human stories that linger long after the screen fades, exploring memory, identity, intimacy, and survival through movement and cinematic storytelling—from deeply personal narratives to surreal encounters where the body speaks beyond words.
The Friday, March 6 premiere screening includes popcorn 🍿 and a post-screening producer talkback, moderated by Grand Rapids filmmaker and artist Amy Wilson.
⏱️ Screening runs approximately one hour.

Behind Closed Doors, directed and choreographed by Hanna DiLorenzo, offers a visceral exploration of perception and memory, examining how a shared family trauma fractures into conflicting truths—and ultimately searches for reconciliation.
In Wormwood, Kate Fleming confronts themes of depression and the inner dialogue of navigating suicidal ideation with unflinching honesty and care.
Nothing Stupid, Nothing Stupid At All, by Art Peers, Lisa Lamarre, and Dancers, brings nuance and humanity to lived experience through choreographic collaboration.
In Never Lost, Li Chia-Ping reflects on Elisabeth (O’Keefe) Roskopf’s first return to her birthplace in South Korea since adoption, unfolding a poignant meditation on origin, displacement, and belonging.
Mangego, by Jon Olav S. Gulbrandsen and Michael Schult Ulriksen, captures a fleeting, intimate moment: morning after, two strangers at a breakfast table, bound by a night they barely remember each other’s names.
Inhale, directed and choreographed by Lagha Ghavam and Mohsen Pouryousefian, follows a young woman trapped in emotional limbo after years of social suppression in Iran, revealing quiet resistance through breath and movement.
The program concludes with Edge, by Abel Moreno Pradas, Gelya, and Akira Yoshida—a haunting encounter between two people separated by glass and silence, meeting without knowing how they arrived there.
