Making of and Behind the Scenes Look at Scottish Ballet’s Starstruck,

In 1960, American dancer and actor Gene Kelly created for the Paris Opera Ballet an original choreography that was highly acclaimed at the time, yet rarely performed thereafter; a genius work that the Scottish Ballet, accompanied by the stirring and evocative score by composer and pianist George Gershwin, epitome of orchestral jazz, brings back to life sixty years later.

A striking and creative celebration of French artist Yves Klein and what has become the world's most famous shade of blue. Directed by Oscar Sansom and produced by Scottish Ballet and Forest Of Black the film is surreal, surprising and bursting with ideas. Sophie Laplane's distinct, quirky choreography paired with Sansom's striking visuals create a film that brings together the very best of both mediums in a piece that is a true joy to watch.
