The Jacksonville Dance Film Festival (JDFF) celebrates the intersection of movement, filmmaking, and storytelling, bringing artists and audiences together through the evolving art of dance on screen.
Presented by Jacksonville Dance Theatre, JDFF showcases innovative dance films from local, national, and international artists and provides a platform for work that pushes choreography beyond the stage and into the frame.
As one of the few festivals dedicated to dance film in the region, JDFF connects diverse audiences, cultures, and creative communities through the shared languages of movement and film. Through screenings, artist engagement, and creative exchange, the festival invites Northeast Florida audiences to experience new perspectives on what dance—and film—can be.
