The film “Kinshasa Symphony” celebrates its world premiere at “Berlinale Special” on February 17th 2010, 21:45h (rerun February 18th, 18:00h, Cubix 8)
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.

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.

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.
