The movie was "Mad Hot Ballroom" shown at 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM to sold out audiences.
Best Film, Chicago Film Festival. It's the most acclaimed documentary of the year -- and it will send you out on Front St. dancing a tango with a rose in your teeth! Inner-city kids from New York take up ballroom dancing and enter the big city-wide competition against children of all backgrounds. You will root and cheer, laugh and cry, in this uplifting, remarkable opening night movie for our first Traverse City Film Festival. Director and stars will be in attendance!
It was followed by an Opening Night Gala which was also sold out.
