The awards were chosen by international juries. Fernanda Vallejos and Anna Macdonald for the national and international awards, in these awards the curators also gave a unanimous vote for the final count.
Everyone, jurors and curator, are professionals dedicated in different ways to cultivating, creating and disseminating screendance and audiovisuals in general, either independently or academically. You can see their biographical sketches on this: page.
The parameters that the juries followed for the elections vary between: photographic quality, development of the narrative of the audiovisual discourse, coherence of the argument in the edition, balance between audiovisual language and body language, experimental risk, universality of the topics covered.
Only the first places of the national and international prizes win an economic stimulus. And the three MOV IN MOV-REDIV award winners win a Merce Cunningham Centennial book.

You can see the opinion of the jury for the selection of the winning works on this: page.
This year MOV EN MOV is dedicated to the theme LIQUID BODY, to the dissolution of the body because of various possible reasons, we can mention: perpetual uncertainty, fragmented identities, fragile values, continuous movement, speed, vulnerability, volatile gender. The short films chosen for the festival are somehow related to these themes.
Movement in Movement focuses on the exhibition of screendance and experimental films that express the body in different ways, unclassifiable films and videos that are on the limits of video art and experimental cinema.
On this tenth anniversary we return with the slogan: CREATING DEPENDENCIES and ADDICTIONS TO SCREENDANCE.
Mov en Mov magazine 2022 will be available online, on our website, with texts from:
Douglas Rosenberg, Anna Macdonald, Diego Carrera, Vivian Abenshushan, Nayeli Benhumea, Karina Sosa, Adrian Filpio, Brenda I. Steinecke Soto, Yolanda M. Guadarrama, Luis Tirado Morales.

PROGRAM 1: AND THE SHIP GOES
The ship, our planet, is heading into uncertainty where we don’t know if humanity will be able to continue, if the established systems will continue. The works collected in this program help us reflect on possible futures, possible new normalities, almost obligatory reflections in the current period of “Post-pandemic”.

PROGRAM 2: GENDER
In the limits of the defined-indefined body identity, this program reflects the concerns that various creators have about the representation of the feminine, masculine and transgender; as well as some doubts between the dream, the real and the most common models of beauty.
Pre-recorded 2-minutes interviews with each author.

PROGRAM 4: PERCEIVE-NOTICE-EXPERIMENT
Losing and winning during the game, risk and life, are intangible values that are reflected in the experimentation that this program proposes. Among these short films we find a digitally altered version of Fred Astaire; the expression of a character outside the conventional circuits of art; blind drawings; a short and unique dance documentary; and an urban experimentation on anger.

We open this call in a global environment of prolonged pandemic, so we want to continue supporting and launching artistic proposals in-person and virtually. So the festival will be held in September in a mixed way, face-to-face (if sanitary measures allow it) and virtual.
Movimiento en Movimiento continues, from now on, every two years, we move to the biennial modality, with our battle cry:
Creating dependencies and addictions to screendance.
Movimiento en Movimiento is interested in audiovisual productions that might be considered as screendance, dance film or videodance, with deep reflections through its narrative, meanings, body and audiovisual media, which imply speculations in the following fields of study: PHILOSOPHY, SOCIETY and LITERATURE. These productions may include or exclude the human body.
Call addressed to artists who create:
* Screendance or dance films
* Experimental Films and Videos
* Live Screendance Performance by video call
The tenth edition is entitled LIQUID BODY, looking for works that question the limits of any of the various definitions of “body”. However, works of diverse themes will be chosen.
This is the fourth year that the festival awards prizes to the best productions of the official selection: a national and an international award.
The tenth edition of Movimiento en Movimiento will be held in September 2022 with screenings and exhibitions of the selected pieces, as well as live performance presentations through video calls. All the selected pieces will be part of the festival’s web archive in the GALLERY PERMANENT**, which is formed a few months after the celebration. (**Creators can choose to authorize only excerpts of their work for this gallery). During the festival there will be two screendance laboratories for the screen.
