The San Jacinto College dance program invites submissions of short dance films for its third annual Artists for Hope International Dance Film Festival, to be held February 10-19, 2023.

Entering its 8th year, AFH is once again returning to the studio and stage for a live event while still embracing the virtual dance world.
