Experience the magic of flamenco at El Faro Flamenco, held every first Friday of the month at the quirky and artisanal Congress Coffee Company. El Faro, meaning the lighthouse in Spanish, aims to be a beacon of improvised live music in Calgary, featuring the top local and visiting flamenco performers alongside new and emerging artists. With flamenco, we bring together many artforms of guitar, signing, dance, and percussion, whether it is with a traditional approach, or a modern spin to create wonder for all types of audiences.

Mile Zero Dance has been promoting and presenting dance films since 2009, and our biennial festival, REELING: Dance on Screen, is designed to highlight artists from local to international. We love artists who are devoted to capturing the moment of movement through the lens, translated into a different medium and language that transcends borders.

– MZD’s curation of twenty-six national and international shorts
– A late night outdoor screening by MZD and FAVA
– An opening celebration event in collaboration with Sokaris Studios on July 19th!
For ease and accessibility, all of our films will be released over a five-day period and accessible online until August 15th, and the highlight selection will be on the big screen on July 26th.
