SanDance film Sunday at 2 PM EST

In partnership with Global Arts Live, “SanDance!,” an independent documentary film about the age-old dance culture of Africa’s San (Bushman) First Peoples, will stream live on Facebook and YouTube on Sunday, Feb. 6 at 2 p.m EST. After the live broadcast, which will include a Q&A with filmmaker Richard Wicksteed, the film and conversation will be streamable on the same platforms beginning Feb. 8.

“We made ‘SanDance!’ to honour and celebrate the beauty, resilience and strength of San/Bushman culture in southern Africa, as expressed through the San’s ancient and sublime dance traditions,” reads a statement about the film. “Against all odds, San culture endures today, in the face of post-colonial cultural marginalization and ongoing cultural repression and land dispossession.”

I saw the trailer (below) and think this is a film worth watching. We can learn a lot from indigenous music and dance. Who knows, being able to make this art could be essential to our survival.
