DANCING ACROSS BORDERS
Anne Bass, USA, 2008, 90m

On a trip to Angkor Wat, Cambodia in 2000, longtime dance patron Anne Bass came across a supremely talented young man dancing a traditional temple dance. Struck by his grace and charm, she offered him the opportunity of a lifetime to follow a dream he could not have imagined. Soon, Sokvannara (Sy) Sar is studying classical ballet in a private studio with master teacher Olga Kostritzky in New York. From the serene countryside of Southeast Asia to the halls of SAB to the stage of Pacific Northwest Ballet, the film follows Sar as he masters the art of classical ballet and adjusts to a new culture. Making her directorial debut, Bass, combines her visual gifts with a longtime involvement in the arts of Cambodia to create an intimate and ultimately triumphant portrait of a young life in transition.
