FIFTH WALL FEST is the Philippines' first international dance film festival. 

Our advocacy is to bring further value to the art of dance filmmaking. We wish to create a space for the visibility, education, and discussion of films that choreograph in and around the camera.

FIFTH WALL FEST focuses on challenging artistic experimentation between dance and film while exploring the possibilities and boundaries (or lack thereof) in the genre. In extending the limits of our objectives, we set out to provide merited recognition of dance and film as separate disciplines, while ultimately encouraging habituation between the two.

MOVEMENT IN FOCUS

The platform aims to develop and strengthen the use of the genre, as well as bridge the gap between local and international dance communities. FIFTH WALL FEST celebrates dance on camera by fostering and promoting  quality works for old and new audiences alike.
