NUREYEV
The greatest ballet dancer of the mid-20th century, Russian Rudolf Nureyev also had an epic life story that saw him defect to the West and become a symbol of the cultural battles of the Cold War before his death from HIV/Aids in 1993. Directors Jacqueline Morris and David Morris's documentary combines archival footage with new specially commissioned dance pieces to paint a portrait of an extraordinary talent and a complicated man.

Introspective and full of relatable self-doubt, Osaka comes across not as an unapproachable master of the universe but rather an ordinary young woman searching for her place and identity in the world against the backdrop of intense media examination and expectation.
