About the festival

Here is the birth of a festival which focuses on filming the body and dance films.
This event is organized by the nonprofit organization "RAKSA-Ciné Paris" registered in Paris at the "Maison des associations", in the 16th district of Paris.

RAKSA is "a dance" in Arabic. This new festival is born in Paris to support the marginalized genre of "Ciné-Danse du Monde" and dance films. RAKSA programs both dance films and films which treat the subject of "the body." RAKSA offers specific sections dedicated to oriental dances, cultural dances and Arab dance films. RAKSA remains open to different forms of films and for international filmmakers.

We are not only looking for dance films, but also for fiction and documentary films where dance or the body movement are main subjects of the film.
