Step into the unexpected at our Art/Experimental screening, where dance meets visual art in bold and unconventional ways. Hosted at the Catharine Clark Gallery, this program invites you to experience movement through the lens of video art, animation, and avant-garde filmmaking. These genre-defying shorts push boundaries of both dance and cinema— embracing abstraction, ritual, and emotional depth over traditional storytelling. From intimate meditations on motherhood to kinetic rituals of resistance, each film challenges perception and offers a fresh perspective on what dance can be. Expect a night of stirring visuals, conceptual play, and artistic exploration in a space where art and movement truly merge.

BOXBLUR, founded in 2016, is a fiscally sponsored project of Dance Film SF, and central to its efforts is its partnership with the San Francisco Dance Film Festival. The mission of BOXBLUR is to bring performing and visual art into dialogue through producing and hosting performance and time-based programs in the gallery’s exhibition space and in other nonproscenium settings. BOXBLUR programs are socially engaged, ephemeral, experimental, and performative projects that are often realized through collaboration with other arts organizations.
