Tapping into the phenomenon of "screendance", the Black Choreographers Festival partners with see. think. dance. to present the first annual REflect film series.

 

REflect mines the rich visual history of Black dancers and choreographers on film through a dynamic selection of documentaries, feature films and shorts. 
 

Bringing Addis Ababa to Oakland and Rio de Janeiro to San Francisco, REflect offers up several glimpses into Black dance across the Diaspora.
