Cinematheque . Film Schedule . Miss Hill: Making Dance Matter
2014 | Greg Vander Veer
This new documentary recounts the little known story of Martha Hill (1900-1995), a visionary who fought to make contemporary and modern dance a legitimate art form in America. Archival footage and interviews with friends and intimates trace how Hill rose from a Bible Belt childhood in East Palestine, Ohio, to become the founding director of The Juilliard Dance Division (1952-1985). “Bound to enthrall dance aficionados…A marvelous primer on the rise of modern dance as an important art form in America.” –Hollywood Reporter.
