Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty!

About

A colorful, dance-charged 2026 film finds exuberance amid mourning and grief.

For viewers wanting a new release with buoyancy, this 122-minute film uses dance and a touch of wonderful madness to approach mourning. Its Japanese, English and Spanish dialogue and genre-blending energy make it a livelier counterpoint to the evening’s documentaries and repertory programs.
