Program R05: French Dance Film Retrospective: Dominique Delouche

KINODANCE-2009 presents an evening with Dominique Delouche who will share stories and experiences from his prolific carrier as a filmmaker. The filmmaker will also present excerpts from his films and answer audience’s questions.

Dominique Delouche, one of the maitres of French cinema, was born in Paris in 1931. He began his journey into the film world as an Assistant Director to Fellini. Between 1960 and 1967, he directed several shorts but since 1980, he devoted all his filmmaking to ballet.

Delouche fell in love with ballet in his teens as he attended splendid performances with some of the most famous ballet-stars. He made films about famous dancers and choreographers – Serge Lefar, Maya Plisetskaya, Nina Vyroubova, Ekaterina Maksimova and Vladimir Vasiliev among others. Delouche’s films are precious – they capture the spirit of the ballets through the feelings of the performers.

Forgotten Diaries of Nina Vyroubova (95 minutes, 1996, France)
dir: Dominique Delouche

Nina Vyroubova was born in Russia in 1921 and emigrated to France in 1927. The film tells a story of her glorious carrier in ballet – memories, rehearsals, partners. Both interviews with Vyroubova and archival footage of her performances became part of the film.
