Dogwoof has debuted a trailer for the documentary on visionary dance artist ‘Ailey.’
Alvin Ailey was a visionary artist who found salvation through dance. Directed by Jamila Wignot, the celebrated documentary is an immersive profile of ground-breaking and influential choreographer, founder of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. The documentary captures the brilliant and enigmatic man who, when confronted by a world that refused to embrace him, was determined to build one that would.
A sensorial, archival-rich story that traces the full contours of this extraordinary artist’s biography and connects his past to our present with an intimate glimpse into the Ailey studios today, where we follow innovative hip-hop choreographer Rennie Harris as he conceives a new dance inspired by Ailey’s life.
Using never-before-heard audio interviews recorded in the last year of his life, we experience Ailey’s astonishing journey in his words.
Also in trailers – “The future is unwritten…” Full trailer lands for new Sex and the City series ‘And Just Like That’
The film is released in UK & Irish cinemas 7th January 2022.
