Dance of the Wild

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the encore of “Dance of the Wild” on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 3 and 4 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

The film is returning to Sedona by popular demand after a sold out premiere in June.

Meet one of the main characters of the film, Michelle Peterson, founder of Medicine Horse Healing and local Sedona horse woman.  She will be hosting and leading a live discussion and Q&A after the screenings.

“Dance of the Wild” is an award-winning documentary that takes you on a poetic journey into humanity’s timeless bond and fascination with the wild horse — a connection that mirrors our relationship to nature, spirit, and the deeper layers of the soul.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Chance Foreman, the film takes you through sweeping landscapes, intimate stories, and teachings rooted in natural law. It reveals why wild horses are more than symbols of American heritage — they are sentient, mystical beings whose wisdom is vital to our survival and evolution.

At its heart, the film celebrates the sacredness of Mustangs and the urgent need to protect and honor them as irreplaceable national treasures and profound teachers of the unseen world.

As modern pressures threaten both the Earth and all living beings, “Dance of the Wild” invites viewers on a journey of remembrance: a return to heart, to land, and to the ancient magic shared between human and horse.

Ultimately, the film poses a profound question: What if this sacred relationship holds the key to our collective healing and evolution?

“Dance of the Wild” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Thursday, Sept. 3 at 4:00 p.m. and Friday, Sept. 4 at 7:00 p.m. with mustang trainer Michelle Peterson present for a live Q&A discussion at both screenings.
