Kitschy and confrontational, this dance short is a darkly playful take on the dynamics of seeing and being seen.

Paying homage to classic film noir cinema, “The Game” brings together an unlikely cast of characters in a midnight game of cat and mouse. Set in a mysterious abandoned warehouse and told through a hybrid of jazz dance styles, alliances are forged, suspicions are raised, and from within the shadows, a player will ultimately take the prize. This short film was part of a past San Francisco Dance Film Festival season. Tune in this October to see select films from the 2024 festival.
