Woodstock VT Film Series: Swan Song
Chelsea McMullen takes viewers on an immersive, behind-the-scenes journey as one of the world’s leading ballet companies mounts a legacy-defining new production of Swan Lake. Ballet icon Karen Kain directs the National Ballet of Canada, on the eve of her retirement after a nearly 50-year career. The verité-driven feature documentary closely follows Kain and a group of young dancers drawn from the National Ballet of Canada’s ranks, weaving Swan Lake’s dramatic creation process with intimate scenes from the subjects’ personal lives as they push toward one of the most significant opening nights in their company’s history.
