TILTED is dedicated to the creation and fostering of inclusive aerial dance particularly highlighting marginalised voices and underrepresented women. Creating a more equitable and inclusive dance and circus field for all, TILT aims to create opportunities for artists, and engage audiences both on and offline via hybrid programming, including the TILT Aerial Dance Film Festival. 

 

Films are selected based on challenging the possibilities of what aerial dance and circus can look like in video form. TILT values real stories, challenging content, multicultural, multigenre, and narrative dance and circus films. The TILT team believe in challenging convention and social conditioning, empowering young people, and not being afraid to talk about that which is difficult, be it mental health, sexism, racism, structures of oppression, objectification and any concept that addresses the topic of equality. 

 

TILTED Film Festival takes place on Sunday August 7th 2022 in the diverse city of Birmingham, UK. Held at West Midlands Circus & Creation Centre in heart of Birmingham's Cultural Quarter.
