EDIFF is an exciting not-for-profit international dance film festival for the UK's South West. Set in the heart of Exeter, this full day and evening event brims with world-class independent dance films.
Exeter Dance International Film Festival has grown from the desire to see more high quality dance films being showcased and championed in the South West. From hip hop to ballroom, bollywood to contemporary, EDIFF has something for everyone. We are dance film enthusiasts looking to showcase and support authentic art.
The Hall is an arts venue where history and modernity collide. Located on Stepcote Hill in Exeter's ancient West Quarter, it has long been the home of artists and free thinkers. EDIFF is continuing that long tradition by screening the festival from this distinguished location. Complete with seating for 100 people, world-class projection and sound, optional use of headsets for the immersive experience, a bar and even popcorn - this is the perfect setting for you to screen your film with us.
Our online event will run for a week after the live event, showcasing all official selection films. There will be 2 scheduled zoom mixer sessions during this week for filmmakers to meet each other and network.
Guest curators will award one winner plus honourable mentions in each category, plus additional awards for: choreography, dancer, location, editing, cinematography, costume, soundtrack/music, concept, and Film of the Festival.
Some filmmakers will have the opportunity for their films to be shown on a unique streaming platform called TVHi. This optional extra provides additional exposure for the filmmakers and the possibility of a small revenue stream. Films to be chosen by the Festival Director after the festival run.
