Multiple Directors
Appeared at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival
No ballet companies had greater influence on the evolution of 20th century dance than the Ballets Russes. What began in turn-of-the-century Paris under Serge Diaghilev, and later transformed American taste during the '30s and '40s, ended when rising costs, competition and battling egos forced it to cease operation. With revealing interviews, rare archival footage, wit and intelligence, documentary filmmakers Daniel Geller and Dayna Goldfine present the colorful, intimate story of one of the most important artistic earthquakes of the modern era.
