The American Ballet Company: Eliot Feld Artistic Director is a cinema verité account of Feld’s early choreography and the founding of his first ensemble, The American Ballet Company whose first performance took place in Italy at the 1968 Spoleto Festival. With clear and concise direction, Eliot Feld molds his dancers and their movements until his image comes to life. Feld’s ferocious passion for ballet and choreography is as contagious to his audience as it is for those around him. Filmed in New York and Spoleto.
