About

The Inspired Dance Film Festival (IDFF) returns for its seventh season, celebrating the extraordinary possibilities that emerge when dance and film come together.

The 2026 festival brings together dance films and documentaries from Australia and around the world, presented through a curated programme of in-cinema experiences and online digital screenings.

From bold new screendance and intimate documentaries to stories of culture, identity, connection and creative discovery, each event offers a different window into dance on screen.

Explore the full festival programme below and choose individual screenings, experience IDFF in cinema at The Reservoir Cinema, Rydges Sydney Central, or discover the festival online through the IDFF Digital Suite.

The season culminates in our Gala Screening & Awards, celebrating outstanding filmmaking, choreography and storytelling from across the 2026 programme.
