The Kaizen Creative Film Festival is the first street dance focused film festival that celebrates the collaboration between filmmakers and dancers.
This year we will be curating a platform for filmmakers and street dancers to showcase their work on the big screen at the Chinatown Cinema opposite O2 Studios. This is a great opportunity for both established and up-and-coming filmmakers to have their work presented in front of an audience and displayed online across all of the FLYING ART STUDIOS® social media channels.
This will also be a great event to learn from and network with other likeminded filmmakers and dancers who share a passion for cinema.
