Barefoot Empress

A 96-year-old woman in India pursues her lifelong dream of getting an education.

Manish is an athletic street dancer from Mumbai, whose working-class parents depend on their only son's support. When he accidentally walks into an inner-city dance school and encounters a curmudgeonly 70-year-old Israeli ballet master, a hunger develops within him. Ambitious and passionate, Manish is determined to make it as a professional dancer, but the odds are stacked against him. Call Me Dancer will take you on a magical journey...from the streets of Mumbai to the stages of New York. A story of perseverance, rebellion, passion, family, culture, and an unlikely friendship - filmed in India, Israel, the U.K., and the U.S - and featuring music from legendary singer/songwriter Jay Sean and hip-hop artist/rapper Anik Khan, with a sublime score by Nainita Desai and Nina Humphreys Call Me Dancer will make you want to jump up from your seat and, yes, dance.

The Legacy Film Festival on Aging celebrates the aging process as profound, often challenging, & always courageous. Will we age “gracefully”, crankily, painfully, defiantly? We portray this unique, ever-changing experience honestly, artfully, always with compassion and love for their subjects.

Here's what's coming up soon. Can't make it? No sweat. Many live streams will be available for on-demand viewing as well.
