“A captivating film that truly elevates the spirit.” Los Angeles Times

Hear Maina Gielgud (pictured left) speak about this deeply inspirational
film, its legacy and her current work. Maina Gielgud (AO) is one of the
greatest figures of the international ballet world today.  Australians know
her through her groundbreaking artistic direction of the Australian Ballet
from 1983 to 1996. She will be introduced by David McAllister, current
artistic director, who has commissioned Gielgud to restage her acclaimed
production of Giselle.

Unearthing a treasure trove of archival footage, filmmakers Dan Geller and
Dayna Goldfine have fashioned a dazzlingly entrancing ode to the
revolutionary twentieth-century dance troupe known as the Ballets Russes.
What began as a group of Russian refugees who never danced in Russia, became
not one but two rival dance troupes who fought the infamous “ballet battles”
that consumed London society before World War II. The film maps the
company’s Diaghilev-era beginnings in turn of-the-century Paris when artists
such as Nijinsky, Balanchine, Picasso, Miró, Matisse, and Stravinsky united
in unparalleled collaboration.  

Text Box: “An electrifying documentary. It lovingly brings to life an era of
unequalled artistic excitement.” Washington PostIn the halcyon days of the
1930s and ’40s, the Ballets Russes toured America and Australia, astonishing
audiences with artistry never before seen.

Directed with consummate invention and infused with juicy anecdotal
interviews from many of the company’s glamorous stars, Ballets Russes treats
modern audiences to a rare glimpse of the singularly  remarkable merger of
Russian, American, European and Latin American dancers, choreographers,
composers, and designers that transformed the face of ballet forever.
