Screening and vogue ball

Elise, a young star of the Paris Opera, is seriously injured at the end of a performance. A ballerina of brilliant talent, her dreams are suddenly dashed when the doctors tell her she cannot dance for years. But a chance encounter propels her into the world of contemporary dance, where she makes new friends. Dance is life, and it’s never too late to break new ground!
The film is choreographed by one of the most famous figures in contemporary dance, Hofesh Shechter, and stars a ballerina from the Paris Opera.

Why do we recommend it? An emotional insight into the world of professional dance from one of the most popular French directors of recent years. And after the screening, the show is on!

The screening will be followed by the exhilarating The Big Screen Vogue Ball, a cinematic event of the Hungarian ballroom scene, organised by Father Daniel Elle, the French Institute and MD Company. In a safe and creative environment, members of the international ballroom community will test their skills in runway vogue dance, runway, fashion and other categories, while bringing to life the fashion world of well-known French and Francophone films.
