The Dance Film Festival Prague presents the award-winning documentary Cunningham, by American director Alla Kovgan, which was created in an international co-production. The feature documentary portrays one of the great choreographic visionaries – Merce Cunningham, captures three decades in which Merce, misunderstood and rejected by the dance world, despite all assumptions developed a new dance technique and offered a new way of dance thinking. The film documents his work and brings unique — heretofore unpublished — period footage. It maps the evolution of Merce Cunningham’s technique and aesthetic from the 1940s to the 1970s, as well as his collaboration with music innovator John Cage and artist Robert Rauschenberg.
