Boreal Screendace Festival is an international festival dedicated to screendance, held in Listagil in Akureyri since 2020. The festival aims to promote multimedia and video art in North Iceland, to connect local and international artists, build bridges, and encourage collaboration. Inspire new audiences and future generations through the fascinating blend of dance and multimedia.
Creating the project was a bold and spontaneous move as well as a beautiful way to create an international network in dance arts unprecedented to Iceland’s northern capital of Akureyri.
The festival takes place between October and November each year in the Akureyri Art Museum, Gallery Deiglan and Mjólkurbúðin Gallery.
The 2025 edition will be held from October 24 – November 9, and next year from October 23 – November 8, 2026.
