2026 SF Dance Film Festival's closing night celebration of local artistry and community, featuring the world premiere of “Griot"TICKETS: https://sfdancefilmfest.org/fall-festival-2026/bay-area-shorts-2026/
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
The grand finale to our 2026 Festival, Bay Area Shorts is an annual tradition honoring the depth and range of Northern California’s dance film community. This year’s dynamic program moves from the elemental to the surreal — a solo dancer answers the rhythm of crashing waves, a love story is told entirely through animation, office workers mistake a mysterious map for a covert mission, and much more. With choreography from acclaimed artists including Brenda Way (ODC/Dance), Adji Cissoko (LINES Ballet), Natasha Adorlee (concept o4), plus a closing reception, this evening is your chance to celebrate our homegrown talent and send off the festival in style.
Bay Area Shorts includes the world premiere of Griot, a film commissioned by Dance Film SF’s SIGHTLINE initiative. Griot stars LINES Ballet dancer Adji Cissoko with direction by Oakland-based filmmaker Yoram Savion, both of whom will participate in a live Q&A.
All ticket holders are invited to attend a post-screening reception in the lobby to celebrate the end of the 2026 Festival.
