Getting To The Nutcracker
Directed by: Serene Meshel - Dillman | 98 min. | 2013 | USA
Every Christmas season, The Nutcracker Ballet is performed in cities all over the world. What does it really take to produce this ballet each year? Our documentary film, "Getting to The Nutcracker," takes you inside the Herculean effort involved in gathering the resources, assembling the volunteers, casting the dancers, rehearsing and staging the performances of this classic ballet. Los Angeles-based Marat Daukayev School of Ballet, led by the former Kirov star, takes you behind the curtain from auditions, the rigorous hours of rehearsals, the joy of landing a principal role to the pain of losing one. The dancers (boys and girls ages 3-18) are profiled; passionate people who, with their families, make incredible sacrifices of time and money just so that they may dance.
The Festival has become a magnet for those who have make short films reflecting RIIFF’s unique status as the lone film festival in New England that is a qualifying event for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences “Oscar®”. There are more than 7,000 total film festivals worldwide; only 19 have been granted this prestigious distinction..
Out of the over 250 films screened in 2014 (with 94 being World/North American Premieres) which one(s) will receive the Oscar® nod?
Don't miss our relaxing and fun evening and help us raise money for the 2014 Festival!
