MEET THE FILMMAKER: Sunday November 30, 3:30pm. Join filmmaker Dawn Jackson and featured dancer Floeur Alder for a post-screening Q&A.

POINTE DANCING ON A KNIFE'S EDGE is a captivating and moving documentary about Australian dancer Floeur Alder, daughter of ballet luminaries Lucette Aldous AC and Alan Alder.

At 22, about to embark on her European dance career, Floeur was victim to a stabbing outside of her home at the hands of a stranger. While the physical wounds eventually healed, the trauma stirs turbulent memories from her past, sparking a deeply personal quest to find her place in the dance world.

Poetic, raw, and unflinching, POINTE DANCING ON A KNIFE'S EDGE is a portrait of an unbelievably courageous artist, her remarkable family, and how the power of creativity can heal even the deepest wounds.
