NY Export: Opus Jazz
(Henry Joost, Jody Lee Lipes, USA, 2010, DigiBeta, 60 min)
In NY Export: Opus Jazz, the New York City Ballet takes dancing to the streets. The film is a scripted adaptation of a 1958 "ballet in sneakers" by Jerome Robbins, a companion piece to his legendary West Side Story, that tells an abstract tale of disaffected urban youth. Shot on location all over New York City on anamorphic 35mm, the film returns the original choreography to the streets that inspired it and stars an ensemble cast of dancers from the New York City Ballet.
"This film is just about the purest, sexiest thing going in ballet." - "New York Magazine
