Film Sceening: Kinshasa Symphony Orchestra - 14.09.14
Presented by Afrika Eye Film Festival, in partnership with Colston Hall and Watershed.
Two hundred orchestral musicians are playing Beethoven’s Ninth when a power cut strikes a few bars before the last movement – this is the least of the worries facing the only symphony orchestra in Congo. In 15 years of existence, they have survived two putsches, immense shortages, and a war. A captivating study of people in one of the world’s most chaotic cities doing their best to maintain one of the most complex systems of human endeavour: a symphony orchestra. A gorgeous, inspiring testimony to the healing joy of music.
Dir: Claus Wischmann /Martin Baer, DRCongo/Germany, 2010, Subtitled, (PG)
The screening is also part of a live performance held at Colston Hall on September 16th 2014.
