Closing Night: Moving Stories Film Screening & Dance Experience (Ages 9+)
** Sunday, March 8 7:00pm
** All CFFS 2020 closing day events (March 8) take place
Off-Site @ Rainier Arts Center
(3515 S Alaska St., Seattle, WA 98118)
(Rob Fruchtman, Cornelia Ravenal, Mikael Södersten & Wendy Sax, USA, live-action documentary, 2018, 85 min, Arabic, English, Hindi, Korean & Romanian with English subtitles)
Ages 9+
Seattle premiere!
** The film will be preceded by an interactive and all-ages audience dance experience! **
Six diverse dancers from an acclaimed NY company travel the world, working with youth who have experienced war, poverty, sexual exploitation, extreme prejudice and trauma as refugees. In India, they work with girls rescued from gender violence; in Romania, with Roma kids from one of Europe's worst slums; in South Korea, with North Korean escapees; and in Iraq, with a gifted young dancer fighting to survive.
Incredibly, they have just one week to prepare the kids to perform on stage, and it is not always certain which young dancers will pull through. But as both teachers and students rise to the challenge, they experience surprising transformations, unlocking feelings and stories in wellsprings of creativity.
** Content advisory: This uplifting film deals with difficult issues, including the impending death of a child. But the film has received acclaim for its hopeful and uplifting message and was recommended for ages 8+ at the Seattle International Film Festival. We believe it is better for older children. **
