About this Event

San Francisco Dance Film Festival proudly presents the world premiere of Last Dance at the Sundance Stompede, a documentary exploring community, resilience, and joy through the lens of queer country-western dancing at an iconic San Francisco gathering: the Sundance Stompede.

In addition to the screening, this one-night-only event includes a Q&A with director Graham Clayton-Chance, Stompede founder Ingu Yun, and Stompede event director Dave Hayes-Mocci, plus live performances, and even an opportunity to dance yourself.

Enjoy country-western dance lessons from 5:30-7:15PM, then hit the floor for open dancing until 10:30PM. That's two nights of boot-stomping fun for the price of one!

ABOUT THE FILM

In November 2023, over 800 people from around the globe gathered in San Francisco for the final Sundance Stompede, an LGBTQ+ country-western dance weekend that had been a cornerstone of queer culture for 27 years. What began in the early 1990s as a small grassroots fundraiser for AIDS blossomed into a cherished annual community gathering. Over the years, the Sundance Stompede became a haven where queer individuals from diverse backgrounds united through their shared love of country-western dance and challenged the dance styleโ€™s traditional gender norms.

The final Sundance Stompede marked the end of a remarkable era. Last Dance at the Sundance Stompede captures its historic weekend, chronicling the reflections of founder Ingu Yun and 15 participants as they celebrate the eventโ€™s enduring legacy and bid farewell with one last dance. More than a swan song of a beloved event, this tender and intimate documentary is a tribute to a community that used dance as a powerful vehicle for survival, celebration, and change for nearly three decades.
