"Love, A State of Grace" Post-Screening Q&A with Bryan Gibel and Joanna Haigood, moderated by Laura Elaine Ellis at the Fall 2023 Festival.

Filmed over four days in San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral, “Love, A State of Grace” is a multifaceted immersive meditation on vulnerability, courage, and loving attunement to our common humanity, told through the mesmerizing art of aerial dance.

For four days in 2022, Zaccho Dance Theatre transformed San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral. Amid the cathedral’s towering ceilings, stained glass windows, and cavernous chambers, performers ascend a 100-ft ladder and soar on a 70-foot swinging pendulum, defying gravity with equanimous grace.
