PINA (in 3-D)

Q&A with dance critic Deborah Jowitt

Wim Wenders’ (Wings of Desire, Buena Vista Social Club) dazzling foray into 3D began as a collaboration with legendary choreographer Pina Bausch, an attempt to re-imagine her dance on the big screen.  When Bausch died suddenly in 2009, Wenders forged on, turning the project into a moving tribute to her groundbreaking work with the Tanztheater Wuppertal ensemble.  With longtime members of the troupe re-creating classic pieces, PINA delivers an exhilarating journey deep into Bausch’s world.

For this sneak preview, our guest speaker will be the renowned dance critic Deborah Jowitt who wrote about PINA for Film Comment.
