SFDFF On The Road
SFDFF On The Road is San Francisco Dance Film Festival’s Touring Program. As part of our ongoing outreach efforts to bring dance to a wider audience, DANCE FILM SF is offering the rental of one of our annual highlight reels of curated shorts from previous years’ festival programming. These rentals are available as streaming, limited-use content and are intended for educational use by schools, libraries and nonprofit cultural institutions or for small or new film festivals (worldwide) that do not currently have the resources to curate their own programming. By special request, we may offer multiple viewings for approved educational institutions that will assign controlled viewings of a package as part of their syllabus coursework. These touring packages are NOT FOR COMMERCIAL SALE.
The license fee includes permission to screen a touring reel of choice, PLUS a print-ready PDF program for self-printing and distributing to your students/patrons. We’ll also include promotional film stills.
To request permission for the rental of one of our Touring Packages, please send an email to linda@dancefilmsf.org
Touring Reel: Audience Favorites 2025 (AF25)
Audience Favorites 2025 brings together standout films from the 2025 San Francisco Dance Film Festival, offering a dynamic snapshot of the creativity, craft, and global perspectives that defined the year. Spanning playful surrealism, intimate portraits, and urgent social inquiry, the program moves from the mythic landscapes of French Polynesia to the backstreets of Sevilla, from hand-drawn animation inspired by scientific innovation to raw explorations of family and identity.
