Chelsea McMullan's 'Swan Lake' ballet documentary will get the series treatment with 'more characters, more dancers.'
The Big Picture Any viewers who leave this year's Toronto International Film Festival wanting more of Chelsea McMullan's ballet documentary Swan Song after its world premiere are in luck. As previously revealed, a docuseries version of the feature will be released that expands on the story of legendary ballet icon Karen Kain and the National Ballet of Canada by utilizing unused material from the 500+ hours of footage shot for the film.
Before becoming a feature bound for TIFF, Swan Song was originally envisioned as a series to cover more of the content McMullan and their team captured. Upon being asked why they chose the film format instead, however, they revealed that the original idea was never truly scrapped. "It actually is a four-part series as well," they said. "So, we delivered both a four-part series and a feature version.
As for where viewers can see the docuseries version, McMullan added "November 22nd it comes out on CBC." All four parts figure to take advantage of the massive cast of subjects the crew was working with. Although the focus is primarily on Kain, the ballet production boasted 70 cast members who the director says all have compelling stories to tell and who were all personally interviewed for the project.
'Swan Song' Shares the Spotlight With Other TIFF Docs Swan Song, which McMullan co-wrote with Sean O'Neill and also prominently features dancers Shaelynn Estrada and Jurgita Dronina, marks the second year in a row the director is competing with an official selection.
Swan Song premieres in theaters in Canada on September 22 before the docuseries version arrives on CBC Television on November 22. Stay tuned here at Collider for more coverage from TIFF 2023.
