Kinshasa Symphony - Classical Music in the Congo
a film by Claus Wischmann and Martin Baer
Berlin, January 18th 2010 – The decision has been taken. The film “Kinshasa Symphony” has convinced the jury of the 60th Berlin International Film Festival “Berlinale”. Festival director Dieter Kosslick congratulates the directors on this “great documentary film about this very special way towards Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. The film and its story have touched our hearts…” The premiere will take place at Cinema Paris.
The directors Claus Wischmann and Martin Baer are enthusiastic that their film about the only symphony orchestra in central Africa - the “Orchestre Symphonique Kimbanguiste” – has its world premiere at such a famous international festival as the “Berlinale”. “We couldn’t have dreamed of a better starting point”, states Claus Wischmann. He is convinced that later on the film will also have a broad audience in the cinemas and eventually on television (coproduction with WDR and RBB). The film has been produced under the patronage of the German Commission for UNESCO. From May/June 2010 onwards it will be shown in cinemas all over Germany.
