About QDFF
Queer Dance Film Festival centers international queer and trans dance performances and documentaries, showcasing diverse cultures and dance styles. Our live event fosters connections to queer dancers across the globe and highlights talent that is seldom seen in mainstream media.
We were inspired by our first and second annual QueerDanceCon virtual showcases of LGBTQ+ dance films from all over the world (United States, Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Reunion Island, Germany). With overwhelmingly positive audience and community reception, we created a separate event to continue centering international queer dance performances.
Land Acknowledgement
Dear Queer Dancer recognizes that Queer Dance Film Festival takes place in the territory of Huichin, part of the stolen land of the Chochenyo Muwekma Ohlone, the successors of the historic and sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County.
We acknowledge the land and labor of the Ohlone people, whose connection to this land we remember, and whose presence—past, present, and future—we respect.
