FANCY DANCE
premiering at Sundance January 20, 2023
|
Since her sister's disappearance, Jax (Lily Gladstone) has cared for her niece Roki (Isabel Deroy-Olson) by scraping by on the Seneca-Cayuga Reservation in Oklahoma. Every spare minute goes into finding her missing sister while also helping Roki prepare for an upcoming powwow.
At the risk of losing custody to Jax's father, Frank (Shea Whigham) and his second wife Nancy (Audrey Wasilewski) the pair hit the road and scour the backcountry to track down Roki's mother in time for the powwow. What begins as a search gradually turns into a fardeeper investigation into the complexities and contradictions of Indigenous women moving through a colonized world and at the mercy of a failed justice system. Fancy Dance announces the arrival of a major directorial talent: Erica Tremblay. Her unflinching exploration of marginalization uses a mystery narrative as a springboard for an oblique coming-of-age story, lovingly and luminously enacted by Gladstone and Deroy-Olson. Tremblay's juxtaposition of settler violence against the strength of Indigenous communities offers a nuanced account of the human costs of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women epidemic and the possibilities of healing for those left behind. |

Written & directed by P.J. Palmer
Starring Colman Domingo, Malcolm Gets, Audrey Wasilewski, Chris Sheffield, Laura Innes and Kevin Bacon -“Palmer’s film makes a case for visibility
unlike we have ever seen before.” Awards Daily "Audrey Wasilewski shocks and riles as Erin without ever becoming a one-dimensional monster...North Star is a beautiful prayer for a broken America and if just one ounce of its love and gentleness transfers through to the audience then the world will be a better place for it." - UK Film Review “The lead actor and executive producer is the rugged Colman Domingo whose quiet, intense performance as James catapults the film into the big leagues and secures its position as a major contender for an Oscar.” - Film & Television Business “Devastating, just totally and utterly devastating, that is perhaps the only way to describe P.J. Palmer’s North Star. Colman Domingo astounds in one of this year’s best short films.” - Upcoming On Screen |
