(USA, 2014, 84 min) Inspiring and largely unknown story of a woman whose life was defined by her love for dance, Martha Hill emerges as dance’s secret weapon, someone who fought against great odds to establish dance as a legitimate art form in America. Through archival footage, lively interviews with friends and intimates, and rare footage of the spirited subject, the film explores Hills’s arduous path from a Bible Belt childhood in Ohio to a position of power and influence as Juilliard’s founding director of dance (1952-1985). Directed by Greg Vander Veer.
