F-O-R-M at the 14th Biennial Dance in Vancouver (DiV)
We’re thrilled to take part in the 14th Biennial Dance in Vancouver at the Scotiabank Dance Centre’s 7th-floor lounge video station, where we’ll be showcasing a collection of eight films from November 20 — 24.
Our contribution includes four newly commissioned works from our 2024 festival, alongside four dynamic movement-on-screen pieces, each film chosen to reflect the vibrant voices within our local dance community.

F-O-R-M was founded in 2015, and is an international movement-on-screen festival that centers the voices of Youth and Emerging artists. We screen and commission films that explore the limitless possibilities of the body in motion through film. We provide support and a platform for early-career artists while introducing our audiences to expansive, genre-defying filmmaking.
Recorded Movement Society (RMS) was founded in 2017 to support the growing operations of the festival. The society fosters a space where movement, film and technology intersect, encouraging a diverse range of genres and approaches, including dance, abstract depictions of the body, and DIY filmmaking.
RMS is an artist-led and youth-led organization, committed to empowering young artists, and the next generation of arts and cultural leaders, particularly those from intersecting identities and traditionally marginalized communities; Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, folks with disabilities, and diverse sexual orientations, gender identities or expressions (LGBTQ2S+).
Gathered by Tamar Zehava Tabori, Artistic Director of F-O-R-M, this selection embraces “movement-on-screen” as a distinct and inclusive approach to the body in motion, going beyond traditional interpretations of “dance-on-screen.” These films capture the expressive power of movement in varied forms — challenging boundaries and opening new spaces for storytelling, expression, and connection.
Join us at the 7th-floor lounge video station to experience these films — a space to connect with movement’s language in ways that are intimate, thought-provoking, and open-ended. These films reflect F-O-R-M’s commitment to uplifting voices that continue to shape and redefine the boundaries of movement, film, and how they converge.

10 Years in Motion – Help Us Support the Next Generation of Movement-on-Screen Artists!
As we approach our 10th anniversary, we’re launching our 10 for 10 Campaign: donate $10 to celebrate 10 years of supporting youth and emerging filmmakers. Whether it’s $10, a little extra, or an amount that works for you, your support helps us reach our $2,000 goal by the end of this year. Every contribution counts and helps us move forward with the exciting work ahead. Your support will directly fund commissioning new works, mentorships, workshops, and fair screening fees.
This milestone is not just about looking back at what we’ve accomplished but about dreaming of what’s ahead. By donating, you’re actively shaping the future of movement-on-screen and helping us sustain our support for the next wave of creators. Together, we can help provide young artists with the support they need to bring their visions to life and share them with the world.
Recorded Movement Society is a recognized charitable organization! All donations over $25 will receive a tax receipt.
