Choreoscope: Anatomy of a Festival
Abstract
This essay offers an intimate look at the evolution of Choreoscope, the Barcelona Dance Film Festival since its birth in 2013 through the eyes of its founder, Loránd János. It explores how personal experiences, artistic passions, and societal challenges shaped the festival's identity over its first decade. The narrative weaves together János' journey in dance and film with the growth of Choreoscope, highlighting the festival's role in promoting screendance, fostering talent, and aiming to create positive social impact through art. This opening sets the stage for the personal narrative that follows, introducing the main themes of the essay and its autobiographical nature. It also hints at the broader context of the festival's development and its aspirations.
