zxDaveM Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 These marvelous short films (with choreography by Valentino Zucchetti and Kristen McNally and featuring RB dancers) are now online. Just gorgeous! https://pennefatherfilms.com/films/?fbclid=IwAR2m_Vs7-TlF5bZrua1XZ40LSxlpnpbVEcC2M44X2YQt24rRtP3Qi5DO9gU 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I’ve been wondering how to watch these films for ages and now I’ve been able to watch and download them 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninamargaret Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Beautiful, and for my money, far more interesting than the McGregor offering on Sae 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnabelCharles Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I have just watched the Sun is God and In Her Hands and thought both of them stunning. The documentaries about the making of the films were very interesting too. It was good to see Valentino Zucchetti in the role of choreographer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhopton Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I enjoyed all the films but thought The Sun is God exceptionally stunning and moving. it is a perfect combination of beautiful choreography, fabulous locations and exceptional and very emotional dancing. Why has it not won some sort of award? Far superior to most modern ballets on stage at the ROH. I can't recommend it strongly enough. I too have downloaded it and keep watching it and have recommended it to several ballet friends. I hope to see more of Alice Pennefather's productions and Valentino's choreography. Could he take the place of Liam Scarlett as Artist in Residence? I'd far rather see his work than that of the RB official choreographer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmhopton Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Brilliant! So glad it's had the recognition it deserves. Sorry, I was so taken with the film I didn't investigate the site itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
