This fall saw another edition of the San Francisco Dance Film Festival and for the first time in two years, screenings in front of a live audience. We were fortunate to be able to present four live programs during the twelfth edition of our festival and were especially honored to host the North American theatrical premiere of Coppelia, a filmic reimagining of the classic story that blends live action ballet with charming animation (catch our interview with producer Adrienne Liron in Episode 12). We were even more honored to have Michaela DePrince, star of the film and current dancer with the Boston Ballet, in attendance for a live Q&A with our audience. Michaela was very open and generous with her answers and did not shy away from the less glamorous side of pursuing a ballet career. This Q&A was moderated by KQED Forum host Mina Kim.@michaeladeprinceTwitter:@mkimreporterhttps://www.kqed.org/author/minakimsfdancefilmfest.org@sfdancefilmfest

2020 was a special year for Amy Seiwert's Imagery as it marked the 10th anniversary of the Company's SKETCH series.

Two of these films will be screening as a part of the twelfth annual San Francisco Dance Film Festival. Coral spoke with Amy and Ben about the process of producing films that were created around the country as well as the weighty topics the films address.https://www.asimagery.org/sketchfilms@asimagery@aseiwert@bneedhamwoodFinding Me: Dance Heals (featuring "What the Body Holds")October 17th, 7:30 PMCatharine Clark Galleryhttps://sfdancefilmfest.org/festival-films-2021/shorts-program/screendance/contemporary/dance-heals-at-catharine-clark-gallery/@sfdancefilmfesthttps://sfdancefilmfest.org/

If there is any style of dance that the Bay can call its own, its turfing. Whether seen on a BART train or an E-40 video, the physics defying physical storytelling of turfing can turn any place into a stage. But it was one performance from the group Turffeinz captured in the rain in 2009 that saw turfing thrust onto an international stage, changing the trajectories of both the dancers in front of the camera, including Gary “Icecold” Morgan, and the person behind the camera, Yoram Savion, cofounder of SFDFF-embodiment award winning production company YAK films. On this first episode of a two part conversation with Gary and Yoram, we discussed how their creative paths led to their collaboration and how one's life changes when the world is your audience.LinksRIP Rich D Dancing in the Rainhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQRRnAhmB58&ab_channel=YAKfilmsYak Filmshttps://www.youtube.com/user/yakfilms@yoram.savion@icecold3000@theturffeinz@yakfilms@sfdancefilmfest.orgBallet22 presents Carmen Great Star Theater, San FranciscoSeptember 3-5https://www.greatstartheater.org/carmen
