The Challenging Dance 2020 Directed by Alexandre Paskanoi
"The Challenging Dance"—a lively short film that documents the first dancer of color in Les Grands Ballets Canadiens—tracks Vanesa G. R. Montoya as she mounts her first major solo piece. Conveying a sense of the intense work that goes into each dance production, the film also represents a new initiative highlighting filmmakers from Quebec’s immigrant community: for this first edition, the two laureates were directors Gabriela de Andrade and Alexandre Paskanoi.
