Bay Area Shorts | 2024 SFDFF

The Bay Area’s natural beauty takes the spotlight in this selection of screendance shorts by Northern California artists. Drawn from a broad swath of the local dance community, these films put ballet, contemporary, Afro-Brazilian, and aerial dance into dialogue with modern issues and identities. With these artists, audiences are invited to embark on an Afrofuturist expedition, probe an enigmatic mythology, explore the purest beauty of movement, and delve into moving stories of intergenerational memory and cultural expression.

Included in the program is the world premiere of SFDFF's new Co-Laboratory film "Chair Deconstruction" directed by Oakland filmmaker Amanda Beane in collaboration with choreographer Nicole Klaymoon and Embodiment Project.
