what we did
Audiovisual direction of a documentary about intercultural collaboration in contemporary classical music. Composers and renowned soloists of traditional instruments from diverse cultures, such as the duduk (Armenia), kamancha (Azerbaijan), pipa (China), and sho (Japan), joined together in a sonic dialogue for two weeks in Amsterdam. This film is a juxtaposition of cultures united to imagine the music of the future.
Screened at the Buddhist Film Festival at EYE (Netherlands), Atlas Music Festival (Netherlands), Musica Nova Festival Helsinki (Finland), and Santiago de Compostela Festival (Spain).
