Artist duo from city to lead masterclass at Amsterdam’s Cinedans film fete

City-based trans media artist Ashavari Majumdar, alongside Abhyuday Khaitan, filmmaker who are co-curators of the ‘Manifest Dance-Film Festival’, will lead a masterclass on Indian dance-filmmaking at the prestigious Cinedans Fest at Amsterdam’s Eye Film Museum, on Friday (March 27, 2026).

The ‘Yoga of Dance and Film’ session will seek to introduce participants to the Indian context of the evolving language of dance-films and also look closely at Indian dance on screen, examining how choreographic logic informs cinematic choices, such as framing and camera movement, and how the camera can respond to, and be shaped by, the dance itself.
