WESTDOC’S 2009 PitchFest Winner First Position
FIRST POSITION, directed by WESTDOC 2009 Pitchfest winner Bess Kargman, is a new feature length documentary that will be released in New York and Los Angeles on May 4, 2012, and then in theaters across the country the following week. The award-winning feature that premiered at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival shadows several young dancers from disparate social, economic and ethnic backgrounds as they prepare for one of the most prestigious ballet competitions in the world. The subjects featured in the movie come from Sierra Leone, Italy, Japan, Colombia, Israel and the United States; they have a love of dance and a drive to succeed that trumps money, politics and even war.
