Salute! A Taiwanese Film, Video Dance, and American Contemporary Dance
Ticket includes entry to all evening events
Join us for an international evening of cinema, dance, and video art – just before the official opening of the festival!

The evening will feature a moving and thought-provoking dance piece and video artwork by American choreographer Margot Gelbe, performed by dancer Shoshana Brooke.

Immediately following, there will be a special one-time screening of the art documentary Salute from Taiwan – a breathtaking film about the power of movement and the courage to choose a life in art. Directed by Yao Hung-I, the film tells the story of international dancer Sheu Fang-Yi, unfolding between biography, poetic cinema, and contemporary dance performance. Through rich visual language and deep emotional expression, the film reveals a personal journey of struggle, passion, and the search for artistic freedom.
One night, one stage, and inspiration that transcends borders.
