Opine Dance Film Festival

We are excited to announce the call for Opine's 11th season!

​

Opine Dance Film Festival is an annual event that celebrates dance film makers locally, nationally, and internationally who are creating work with meaning.

 

 

 

We are interested in short dance films which speak to wider themes of identity, defying conventions, crossing borders, and pushing boundaries. The program prioritizes both inclusion and diversity through the marriage of dance and film, while also emphasizing the democratization of socioeconomic, political, and identity driven conversations across cultures, contexts and locations.

Highly curated (all submissions go through a curation process by a panel of jurors comprised of local choreographers, filmmakers, and performing artists), ONE WEEKEND of online screenings, and continuing with our Audience Choice Awards in each category.

​

​

Submissions open July 15, 2025!

​

Early Bird Deadline: November 14, 2025

Regular Deadline: January 2, 2026

Late Deadline: February 20, 2026
