In 2000 One Extra Dance launched the inaugural Reel Dance, International Dance on Screen Festival. The festival, an initiative of One Extra Dance, presented short dance films from around the world and held a competition for new Australian work. The inaugural festival showcased the work of film makers Philippe Decouflé, Pascal Magnin, and Stephen Burstow, choreographers Wim Vandekeybus, Douglas Wright, and Graeme Watson, and companies such as William Forsythe's Ballet Frankfurt and Les Ballets C. de la B.

In 2001 One Extra Dance, in collaboration with the Theatre, Film and Dance Department of the University of NSW, presented the first Reel Dance Workshop.

The second Reel Dance International Dance on Screen Festival, held in 2002, was presented by One Extra Dance and the Studio at the Sydney Opera House. In this same year Reel Dance toured nationally to Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Lismore.

In 2003 Reel Dance, in conjunction with the British Council, presented screenings of short films by British film makers Miranda Pennell and John Smith. Both Smith and Pennell also showed recent installation work as part of the December 2003 One Extra performance season.
