China Moves | 2026 SF Dance Film Festival

China Moves Identity and heritage converge as Chinese artists from around the world bring their stories to the screen. China Moves presents dance films by filmmakers working inside China alongside those creating from afar. Eight films explore story, memory, and transformation across generations and geographies. Several works reclaim ritual and rework heritage into something lived-in rather than performed. Others examine the experience of moving between cultures: the disorientation, the negotiation, the quiet acts of self-making. Together, these films offer a wide-ranging portrait of what it means to belong, to remember, and to become. Followed by a live Q&A with artists moderated by Wei Wang. Tickets purchased at the door will cost $1 additional per ticket. 7:30p | House Opens 8:00p | Program begins Runtime: 58 minutes Venue Accessibility: The entrance to Delancey Street Theater’s screening room is at 600 The Embarcadero.
