💛 THANK YOU, BOISE! 💛

The 2026 Idaho Screendance Festival wrapped last week, and our hearts are still full.

To everyone who came out: thank you for filling those seats, for staying for the Q&As, for laughing and gasping and sitting with the quiet moments. You made these films feel alive in the room.

To The Flicks: thank you for opening your beautiful theatre to us. There is no better place in Boise to watch dance on the big screen, and your team made every screening run beautifully.

To the Idaho Dance Education Organization: thank you for sponsoring this festival and for your ongoing belief that dance belongs on screen, in classrooms, and in our community. None of this happens without you.

And to the filmmakers who trusted us with your work, from Idaho to Ireland, Morocco to Montréal, thank you for sending your art across the world to a theatre in Boise.

Until next year. 🎬✨
