Szydlowsky Hall

France / 2014. Director: Christian Leble. 52 minutes

 

Renowned German baritone Matthias Goerne and pianist Markus Hinterhäuser rehearse for their performance of Franz Schubert’s song cycle, Winterreise, at the prestigious Festival d’Aix-en-Provence. Simultaneously, award-winning South African artist William Kentridge seeks a visual counterpart to accompany the performance.

From this dialogue between music and imagery, a stunning concert experience emerges—a collaboration where a genius composer, world-class performers, and a multidisciplinary artist unite across eras, languages, and art forms.
