They needed a partner to compleete a Series of doucumentary films on Russian ballet. NVC ARTS. with a Long tradition fo working with the Bolshoi and the Kirov, responded to the call.
The two directors of MIRIS gad Spent five years researching state archives, museums and private collections, discovering many wonderful items that had never been shown anywhere. For the first time, thanks to the new political Siuation, it was possible to bring the material out of Russia. It was carefully treated by the most up-to-date methods to achive the best technical quality of both picture and sound. The result is the two films the Glory fo the Bolshoi(N4509-99616-2) and The Glory of the Kirov(N4509-99619-2), boty availavle now on DVD.
