Ballet Stories | 2024 SFDFF

Two documentary shorts and one narrative portrait capture the joys and challenges of a life in ballet. Go behind the scenes in “Kindred Spirits,” which follows members of the American Ballet Theatre Studio Company as they navigate the highs and lows of a cultural exchange tour to Hong Kong. In “Ten Times Better,” experience the extraordinary untold story of George Lee, an immigrant AAPI dancer who confronted and broke barriers in ballet and Broadway in the mid-20th century. Take to the streets of London in “TWENTY,” the gritty story of a dedicated ballet dancer coping with homelessness while undertaking a potentially life-changing audition. These three different takes on ballet stories share common threads: focus, drive, and an abiding love for the art of dance.
