Festival opening with Sonia Wieder-Atherton


Sonia Wieder-Atherton

One of the top-acts is at the same time a parenthesis of film and music. Sonia Wieder-Atherton, long-time composer of film music for Chantal Akerman, opens the festival with the cinema concert D’Est en Musique. 

The musicians become one with the film image; the film image absorbs the musicians as organic part of itself. It surprises nobody that musicians play in the street without being run over. Sonia Wieder-Atherton has reassembled Chantal Akerman’s film D’Est to fit a new score she selected for it. It is impossible to draw the line between music, film and theatre.

As lecturer of the extensive workshop programme Sound & Film Music Sonia Wieder-Atherton is going to talk about her compositions and her long-time cooperation with Chantal Akerman.

Tue 17 April, 19.30 h, Theater Dortmund
