Director Wim Wenders’ next project is "Pina," a collaboration with
avant-garde choreographer Pina Bausch on what is being called the
first 3-D dance feature.

Shooting is set to begin in September, with digital film enthusiast
Wenders’ Neue Road Movies shingle producing in collaboration with
Bausch’s dance theater in Wuppertal, Germany.

"Only mainstream 3-D films have been available so far," Neue Road
producer Gian-Piero Ringel said. "With ‘Pina,’ we will offer the
first highly artistic 3-D film. We will set a new benchmark for 3-D."

Bausch, whose choreography is credited with revolutionizing the
language of modern dance, will act as choreographer for the dance
performance Wenders plans to capture on film.

French cinematographer Alain Derobe will lens the film.

Wenders, who won the Cannes festival’s Palme d’Or for "Paris, Texas,"
premiered his last feature, "Palermo Shooting," in 2008 in competition
at Cannes, Reuters reported.
