Curiozități

Ailey is a 2021 American documentary film, directed by Jamila Wignot, which follows the life of dancer Alvin Ailey.

Production

In 2017, Wignot was approached by Insignia Films to direct a documentary about Ailey after discovering American Masters had not produced a documentary film revolving around his life, and that no film biographies about Ailey existed. Production on the film began in Summer 2018, and concluded in October 2019. Wingot also incorporated audio recordings made by Ailey, for an autobiography he was collaborating on with A.

Wignot wanted to include apart from Ailey's life and career, a contemporary element to the film by filming rehearsals of Lazarus by the Alvin Ailey Dance Company to show Ailey's impact and leverage for the next generation of artists.
