Still Jumping: Mediated Performance and Moving Image Across Asia and the Global Stage, 2004–2024

　　Since its founding by the City Contemporary Dance Company in 2004, Jumping Frames – Hong Kong International Movement-Image Festival has established itself as a pioneering platform at the intersection of embodied practice and visual media. More than a film festival, Jumping Frames has continuously redefined the boundaries of artistic experimentation and interdisciplinary exchange, acting as a vital nexus for local and international creative communities and serving as a microcosm of Hong Kong’s vibrant cultural landscape.

　　This anthology presents a multifaceted exploration of screendance and movement-image arts, bringing together a carefully curated collection of essays, roundtable discussions, and artistic reflections. It examines the reimagining of traditions, the body as a site of cultural critique, and the evolving interplay between movement and media technologies.

　　Spanning experiences from Hong Kong, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, and beyond, this volume provides fresh perspectives for artists, curators, and scholars. It invites readers to reconsider the role of dance and moving images within contemporary art and to reflect on their broader cultural, social, and political implications.

　　Marking the 20th anniversary of Jumping Frames, this anthology celebrates two decades of artistic innovation, offering an inspiring resource for those seeking to explore the dynamic convergence of dance and media arts and envisioning new possibilities for the future of movement-image practices.
