Tempo Dance Festival presents

Dream Futures:

Screendance Now


Co-curated with Dance (Lens), featuring Threading Frames & more


Come together to celebrate and send off the Festival in style with larger than life bodies and ideas, splashed across the iconic Academy Cinemas screen.

Six of the best dance films from across Aotearoa and Australia are being announced soon for the programme co-curated with Dance (Lens) — Australia’s premier platform for screendance. This line-up will have its Aotearoa premiere with us at Academy Cinemas, before heading to Narrm Melbourne later in the year.

With works from Threading Frames, Sue Healey, Charles Koroneho, Daniel Riley (Artistic Director at Australian Dance Theatre), and more to be announced!

The perfect way to sign off the Festival.

Including the ‘Hi-Fi’ winner of the Dance on Screen Film Competition at Pōneke Dance Festival 2026, Other Than Yourself by Threading Frames.
