Dora Gordine: Ars Gratia Artis

In her hayday, Dora Gordine was considered to be one of the most talented sculptors in the world. Gordine was born in Libau, Latvia; grew up and studied sculpture in Tallinn, Estonia. While rising to fame in Paris, France via the Far East, she finally settled in London where her steady rise continued well beyond her contemporaries. Thanks to the marriage with the son of an Earl, Gordine managed to push her way to the top of the British aristocracy as one of her statues was opened by Queen Elizabeth II herself in 1963. The documentary focuses on discovering and studying the most essential episodes in Dora Gordine's life, while constantly asking the question: "Who was Dora Gordine after all?"
