Wenders pays 3D tribute to choreographer Bausch

BERLIN (AP) -- Director Wim Wenders is paying tribute in 3D to the late German choreographer Pina Bausch, whom he calls a master of movement.

Wenders' film "Pina" has its premiere at the Berlin film festival on Sunday. It was originally planned as a joint project with Bausch but Wenders decided to press ahead after her death in 2009.

Bausch was an innovative creator of striking, absurdist scenes. Wenders says that when he first saw her work, he realized he "might know enough about movies and movement, but I never, ever was able was able to decipher movement and create movement in the way that Pina had done it."

He says he had the impression that "all of us filmmakers, we were ... beginners in the art of seeing."
