Festival Klang/Bild - Music Meets Film
In the organizer's words:
From 27.11 to 4.12, Klang/Bild will make images dance and notes glow: The Klang/Bild festival combines the previous Cinema Quadrat music film festival with its outstanding music films with the "Look of Sound" event, which functioned as an exchange platform between music and film, industry and audience.
In addition to industry-internal events, there is a public program with the best music films, many of them premiering before their theatrical release: the opening film "Kneecap" highlights a Northern Irish hip hop trio rapping in Gaelic in feature film form - the musicians play themselves. "Beethoven's Nine" accompanies the rehearsals for the famous symphony, which are overshadowed by the Hamas attack on Israel. "Opus" shows Ryūichi Sakamoto's last concert, which he gave for the camera shortly before his death; the film was directed by Sakamoto's son. "In the Court of the Crimson King" sheds light on the 50-year history of Robert Fripp's prog rock band, "blur: To the End" looks at the Britpoppers' comeback shows in 2023. In a jazz evening, "Misty" portrays the great pianist Erroll Garner, "Soundtrack to a Coup d'État" shows the CIA campaign to distract attention from the assassination of Congolese independence fighter Patrice Lumumba with jazz musicians in Africa. Vika!" is about an 85-year-old DJ* with a zest for life. "The Tales of Hoffmann" from 1951 is a classic opera film. "Sisters With Transistors" portrays pioneers of electronic music. An Italian evening offers the concert film "Paolo Conte alla Scala" and "Bella Ciao - Per la libertà" about the history of the famous song. Director Enrique Sánchez Lansch will personally present his film "Pol Pot Dancing" - a documentary about the cruel dictator's dance training - at the end of Klang/Bild.
