Impossible Shadows - Photography Contest

1. INTRODUCTION
The 15th edition of InShadow – Lisbon ScreenDance Festival will take place between the 15th of November and 15th of December 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal. (Dates may change due to contingency measures).
InShadow promotes a cross-disciplinary discourse between the languages of video/cinema and dance/performance, suggesting a cine-choreographic way of thinking where relations between technology and artistic experimentation can be explored. InShadow seeks, within the world of imagination, the dialogue between different cultures. It suggests an assimilation of experiences, methods and knowledge, increasing dual relations such as thought/action and creativity/innovation.
In a year of new goals and new achievements, InShadow wants to challenge the creation of something unique. Impossible Shadows is the new Contest of InShadow Festival dedicated to Photography.
