Cunningham is a 3D documentary that explores the life and legacy of the iconic American dancer and choreographer, Merce Cunningham. Directed by Alla Kovgan, the film features recreations of Cunningham's groundbreaking dance pieces, performed by members of his eponymous dance company.
The documentary also includes archival footage of Cunningham and his collaborators, including composer John Cage and visual artist Robert Rauschenberg, who were instrumental in the creation of his unique approach to dance.

Through stunning 3D visuals and eloquent interviews with members of Cunningham's company, Kovgan's film captures the spirit of innovation and creativity that defined Merce Cunningham's career. It is a fitting tribute to one of the most important artists of the 20th century and an inspiring exploration of the power and possibilities of dance.
