It is no wonder that those in the know cherish Dances With Films as the essential festival in which to view and discover new artists in a safe and professional environment.
Because of this pledge to the budding independent filmmaker, Dances With Films has grown exponentially. From renting a theater for one night only and screening fellow filmmakers films that didn’t make the cut in other festivals, to this year’s blockbuster lineup hosting one hundred and seventeen features, documentaries, and shorts, nineteen years later, over a seven-day film festival. Many of which are world premieres and several are the products of returning successful DWF alums.
