Join us at the 2024 San Francisco Dance Film Festival for the West Coast Premiere of ”Breaking Form” on October 20 at Brava Theater!
In an intimate and wide-ranging portrait of maverick choreographer Jane Comfort, “Breaking Form” explores a creatively rich chapter in New York City’s downtown dance scene and its legacy today. Beginning in the late 1970s and spanning her 40-year career, Comfort fused text, rhythm, and movement to craft experimental works of bold political satire and irreverent social commentary. Archival footage and contemporary interviews with Comfort, her collaborators, and dance historians shed light on an artist who defied expectations and engaged audiences through socially relevant, issue-oriented movement theater.

Join us at the 2024 San Francisco Dance Film Festival for “Bay Area Shorts” on October 20 at Brava Theater!
The Bay Area’s natural beauty takes the spotlight in this selection of thirteen screendance shorts by Northern California artists. Drawn from a broad swath of the local dance community, these films put classical Indian dance, 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. This event includes a live performance and reception. Learn more at sfdancefilmfest.org and @sfdancefilmfest
