Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema

Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema is a niche film festival where choreography meets cinematography.

With an expansive definition of dance and an appreciation for highly experimental and interdisciplinary forms, this unique festival exposes diverse audiences to a variety of film, video, and performance possibilities. We facilitate gatherings from educational workshops to public screenings to professional development for artists. While our roots remain proudly in Boulder County (Colorado, USA), our branches reach many locales nationally and internationally, and continue to grow.

Sans Souci is a Boulder-based international dance film festival that has been screening short dance-centric shorts, documentaries, music videos, and more since 2003. 

We have screened over 800 dance films from 40+ countries across 6 continents at local, national and international events, exhibiting the work of hundreds of artists, and we are committed to utilizing this resource to build community. 

Now in our 21st season, we are one of the longest running international dance film festivals in existence, and the only one with a dedicated creative aging program. 

Colorado venues where we have partnered to produce screenings:  Museum of Boulder, Dairy Arts Center, University of Colorado, University of Northern Colorado, MSU Denver, Boulder Public Library, Bus Stop Gallery in North Boulder Art District,  Arvada Center for Arts and Humanities, and Lafayette's Collective Community Art Center and Public Library.
