Raising Voices | 2025 SF Dance Film Festival

Engaging and deeply emotive storytelling centers the fem perspective for the 7th Annual Raising Voices program. These nine films blend movement with poetry, testimony, and activism to spotlight a spectrum of lived experiences from trans joy and queer identity to carceral systems and cultural reclamation. Curated by Laura Elaine Ellis and followed by a filmmaker panel, this screening is more than a program - it’s a gathering place for reflection on universal themes of resilience, courage, and self-discovery. Come experience stories that move the body and speak from the heart.
