Wiseman X VoE: La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet 
Frederick Wiseman's behind-the-scenes documentary follows the rehearsals and performances from one of the world's great ballet companies, The Paris Opera Ballet.
The film follows the rehearsals and performances of seven ballets: Genus by Wayne McGregor, Le Songe de Medée by Angelin Preljocaj, La Maison de Bernarda by Mats Ek, Paquita by Pierre Lacotte, Casse Noisette by Rudolph Nureyev, Orphée and Eurydice by Pina Bausch, and Romeo and Juliette by Sasha Waltz.
The film shows the work involved in administering the company and the coordinated and collaborative work of choreographers, ballet masters, dancers, musicians, and costume, set, and lighting designers.
This screening is part of both Cinema Expanded - The Films of Frederick Wiseman and Visions of Europe 2026.
