Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema’s “Dance is Like a Fine Wine” program returns to the Age Well Center in Boulder in 2026 for a program designed to introduce viewers to dance film, connect artists with audiences, and encourage movement and artistic expression in the community. This in-person event will consist of a dance film screening, a discussion, and a dance class designed for movers of all mobility levels and types. Films shown will be screendances (an artistic medium that fuses choreography and cinematography) featuring dancers from around the world with a focus on dancers across the age spectrum.

Directions to the Other Side of the World
2025 / Ireland / 12 min
A woman explores the far reaches of rural Ireland in an attempt to make peace with the darker aspect of her spirit. Shot on location in County Kerry, Ireland in 2025, Directions to the Other Side of the World is a blessing, in the style of noted Irish poet John O’Donahue, for those of us visited by a depressed and desolate spirit, a sincere wish for friendship with the greyer aspects of self, and the darker times of day and season. Narrated and accompanied by the modern master of the Sean-nós tradition of singing, Iarla ó Lionáird, and scored by contemporary Irish composers Linda Buckley and Hannah Peel, the film attempts to bridge generations of place and ritual into poetic and practical film of belonging and peace.
