Filmmusik verbindet die Festivals in aller Welt: bei den Oberaudorfer Musikfilmtagen spielt die Jugendblaskapelle Filmmusikklassiker - zur Eroeffnung des Jecheon International Music & Film Festivals in Korea gibt es ebenfalls Filmmusik, diesmal gespielt auf koreanischen Saiteninstrumenten.
Beide Festivals sind noch jung. Beide sind ausgesprochen gastfreundlich und wunderbar musikorientiert. Fantastisch, dass beide "Kinshasa Symphony" zeigen! In Bayern mit deutschen Untertiteln, in Jecheon mit koreanischen.

Pascal Capitolin stellt "Kinshasa Symphony" beim Durban International Film Festival vor: "Die erste Vorstellung fand vor vierhundert Schülern statt, die danach vor allem fragten, wieso Schwarze klassische Musik statt Rap oder ähnlichem spielen. Der Film kam sehr gut bei ihnen an - und gelacht wurde an ganz anderen Stellen als in Europa. In Südafrika haben schon erstaunlich viele Menschen von "Kinshasa Symphony" gehört."

The second phase of filming in Kinshasa has begun. Fortunately, the rains have held off. Rehearsals, outside shots, short musician portraits and a new protagonist: a tubist with his own pharmacy. And: the cameraman still has both his shoes.

sounding images GmbH has succeeded in bringing the "Kinshasa Symphony" project to the attention of the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin. The orchestra gave the filming team a crate with collected instruments for L’Orchestre Symphonique Kimbanguiste. A long-term partnership is planned between the two orchestras. An instrument maker is also to travel to Kinshasa to offer support and advice locally.

sounding images has succeeded in securing the patronage of the German Commission for UNESCO for the “Kinshasa Symphony” project. This makes us very proud.

The first leg of the filming is over. With the exception of one of the cameraman’s shoes that got lost on the flight back, the team and their equipment have returned unscathed…

This is simply amazing and believe that this project could gather power in the same way that the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra in Venezuela. I have details of an exceptional Congolese classical music composer who is teaching in China whome I have just made aware of this film. He is very exited! The thought that symphonic music written by African composers is not widely known. I truly believe that the musical talent in many parts of Africa is immense. It is largely unknown and therefore unappreciated by the world. I am hoping that this film is given the full publicity it deserves and would like to purchase a copy of the DVD at the first opportunity. It also deserves National TV coverage in all countries of the world
I really want to view and purchase this film but I can't find it anywhere for sale. How do I go about doing so?
Cheers,
Dani

Yes, I too would love to be able to purchase the DVD of this movie. I just today heard the orchestra rehearse in Kinshasa and for the record: they are absolutely extraordinary! Thank you so much for making this movie and bringing their story and their music to the attention of the world. Can't wait to see the movie & share it with friends.
