The College Dance Film Fest grew out of a desire to connect students involved & interested in the industries of Dance & Cinema to each other and the greater community. Dance & Cinema have incredible potential to communicate through movement, move viewers emotionally, and amplify and clarify each other when intelligently combined. CDFF is the only dance film festival created solely for college students and is focused on celebrating & sharing undergraduate and graduate students' diverse range of work. The festival aims to connect students to various audiences, cultures, and creative communities through the universal language of film and movement.
CDFF is partnering with Denton Movie Tavern to bring Dance on Film to the local community for free this year. CDFF23 will be screening live at The Patterson-Appleton Arts Center Festival Hall in Denton, Texas.
