Prospective participants are asked to submit their film by February 28 for the Earlybird deadline, or March 21 for the final deadline for a chance to have their work featured at Light Moves Festival 2025.

Dance Limerick is reminding those interested to “keep an eye out for a second Open Call later in January”, saying, “Our Screendance Open Format category Call Out will be announced later in January 2025. This category invites artists’ proposals that go beyond the parameters of screenings. Keep an eye on our channels for further info.”

Dance Limerick was created to inspire curiosity, creativity, and connection through dance with the belief dance empowers and enriches people as individuals, as communities, and as a society. The group’s ambition is for Dance Limerick to be a place for dance and a hub of creativity for its artists and for all those with whom they engage.
