Pina is a 2011 German 3D documentary film directed by Wim Wenders[2] that is about German dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch.[3] On 30 June 2009, during the preparation for the film, Bausch died unexpectedly, so Wenders cancelled the project, but the dancers of Bausch's company, Tanztheater Wuppertal, convinced him to proceed as planned, as a way of memorializing Bausch and some of her choreography.
The film premiered out of competition at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival, on 13 February 2011.[4]
