“Closer Than Yesterday” follows two young San Francisco Ballet dancers behind the scenes as they compete on the world stage at the Helsinki International Ballet Competition. As they navigate setbacks and comebacks, they’re coached by former San Francisco Ballet Principal Dancer Tiit Helimets. Rigorous preparations and passionate commitment steel them for a journey of unexpected twists and turns. Intimate dialogue, studio rehearsals, and thrilling performances showcase their daily hard work and sacrifices alongside their anxieties, frustrations, exhaustion, and exhilaration in an environment where tensions run as high as their spirits.
This screening is followed by a Q&A.
VIP ticket holders are invited to attend a special pre-screening reception from 6-7:30PM.
