SOMMERKINO - OPEN AIR KÖLN 75

In the organizer's words:

Before the screening , there will be a concert by Jon Triol at 21:00 to get you in the mood.

KÖLN 75 tells the rousing and true story of the rebellious 18-year-old Vera Brandes, who confidently and passionately puts everything on the line to realize her dream. Against the wishes of her conservative parents, she books the Cologne Opera House at her own risk to bring Keith Jarrett to Cologne for a concert in January 1975. She doesn't know it yet, but this improvised lesson at the piano, which threatens to fail until the very end, is immortalized on record and considered by many to be one of the most popular works of art of the 20th century: Keith Jarrett's "The Köln Concert".

With over 4 million copies sold, "The Köln Concert" became the most successful solo jazz release of all time. Director and author Ido Fluk was inspired by the true events for the film and tells the incredible story behind it. At the center is Vera Brandes, a young, determined and emancipated woman who asserts herself in a male-dominated society.
