Cranko

Austrian premiere!
The screening will be followed by a discussion about the film with director Joachim A. Lang

He was one of the greatest choreographers in dance history, known and celebrated as the ‘Stuttgart Ballet Miracle’ - John Cranko. In his film, director Joachim A. Lang tells the deeply human drama of a pop star of ballet and accompanies the uncomfortable spirit of an almost obsessive exceptional artist who uncompromisingly strives for perfection for his visions. Cranko's choreographies come to life on the big screen in graceful, melancholic and intoxicating dance scenes.
