The Future Remembers: Sadler’s Wells Offers Three £6,000 Dance Film Commissions
Sadler’s Wells Digital Stage is offering three short-film commissions under the theme The Future Remembers. Each selected creative proposal receives a £6,000 commissioning fee and production support to make a dance-on-screen work. Finished films are scheduled to premiere at Dance Digital in November 2027.
Who can apply
The call welcomes dance artists aged 18 or over, based anywhere in the world. Individuals, collectives and companies can apply; filming may happen globally. The fee is £6,000 per commission, not per team member. The commissioned film must last no more than four minutes.
Dates and funding
The main official announcement gives an application deadline of 22 November 2026, with interviews scheduled for December and selected work beginning in January 2027. The page contains inconsistent wording about the exact closing hour, so confirm the submission form before relying on a time.
How to apply
Use the official application form to describe your existing practice and present an idea responding to memory, legacy, responsibility or the futures we create. If you already work with a filmmaker or producer, explain that proposed collaboration in your application.
Important details
A Sadler’s Wells producer will support creative development and an in-house filmmaker may assist with editing subject to availability. All project expenses, including external filmmakers and equipment, must be covered within the £6,000 commission.
