Living Stars might just be the most entertaining dance film ever made.
First time screening in San Francisco!
This remarkable, moving work captures real people in Buenos Aires, in long static takes, simply dancing to pop music. In their kitchens, offices, and garages the film features dancers of all ages, diverse lifestyles, and all levels of talent, each with a common and infectious enthusiasm. In the background, their pets, families, and friends go about their lives and the intimacy of the frame contributes to a loving portrait of each person, pointing to the universal qualities of all people. This simple premise has an overwhelming cumulative effect of shared humanity and pure joy. (2014, 63 min, digital). Preceded by the short Stephen Fry Hates Dancing (2016, 3 min, digital).
