Dance Film SF DFSF brings dance to wider audiences through the presentation and development of dance-based films. We celebrate the best dance films from around the world, encourage and assist choreographers and filmmakers in the creation of new danceworks specifically created for camera, and educate and engage diverse audiences in the wonderful world of dance.
Program accomplishments
- PRODUCTION PROJECTS: Dance Film SF's Production Projects support the creation and development of innovative dance-based media through collaborating with artists, facilitating commissions, assisting production projects, editorial support and presenting original dance films. Production projects encourage artists to think collaboratively, explore possibilities for expression outside their fields and hopefully inspire future creative relationships. DFSF offers opportunities by engaging professional artists through its Co-Laboratory CO-LAB program that provides tailored editorial feedback throughout the production process to help artists refine their work. The Co-Lab films premiere at the annual San Francisco Dance Film Festival and then screen at other festivals in the U.S. and abroad, putting a spotlight on San Francisco's dance and film communities. These initiatives are designed to nurture emerging and established voices in dance film, encouraging experimentation while helping projects reach completion and wider audiences.Expenses $323,880 · grants $229,166 · revenue $25,561

By its tenth anniversary in 2019, SFDFF spanned ten days across multiple venues, showcasing everything from feature documentaries to shorts programs. Now a leading voice in the field, Dance Film SF presents year-round events beyond the festival, including one-off screenings, artist talks, and community-focused programming. These events bring together diverse audiences, elevate new talent, and introduce dance to viewers beyond traditional performance spaces. Since 2020, streaming services have extended the organization's reach, while the festival's closing night continues to be a beloved celebration of the Bay Area's vibrant dance and film communities.Expenses $294,860 · revenue $88,343
