The concert of Brazilian bossa nova sounded at the very beginning of the Festival not by chance. Bruno Baretto appeared in Kazimierz and opened ‘Music, My Love’ section of the Festival with his 'Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands'. The masterpiece was presented in the ruins of the Kazimierz castle. The music for this film was written by Francis Hime, who greeted the audience from the same stage the day before.He is also the author of the music in ‘Black Orpheus’ dir. Marcel Camus, a film that was awarded a Golden Palm in 1969. It’s an adaptation of the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice set in the modern context of Rio de Janeiro during the Carnival. To see it … and to hear it, you just have to come to the castle in Kazimierz on Thursday at 10:00 p.m. On Sunday afternoon we also had a chance to visit the house of Antonio Carlos Jobim ("A Casa do Tom"). We were in New York, Rio de Janeiro, in his private house in a small Brazilian village. The documentary film was directed by the widow of the main hero, Ana Jobim, who invited the whole crew to their house.
Yesterday at 6:00 p.m. in the Small Cinema you could see the premiere screening of the only Polish music film, Bartosz Blaschke’s ‘Table’. It is an audio-performance prepared by the Karibo Crew. With sticks, bowls, knives, hands and a mixing desk, they play on a specially designed table - a wooden instrument with unique acoustic qualities. For a change, in the castle in Kazimierz we screened Ciro Guerry’s ‘Wind Journeys’, a romantic story of a musician travelling with his accordion, a legendary instrument that is said to be cursed, because it once belonged to the devil... The admirers of good music will find something for themselves tonight. Pink Floyd is a legend that influenced the history of music more than anyone else. Their double album ‘The Wall’ from 1979 was made into film in 1982 by Alan Parker. For the first time in the history of cinema a film was based on music. It’s their anti-war manifesto, about a young man who can't accept the world around him. The main character, Pink, loses his father as a child and is tormented at school by tyrannical, abusive teachers, because he can‘t accept their dictatorship. We all know the words from the famous song ‘Another Brick In The Wall’: We don’t need no education… As an adult Pink becomes a rock star but still can’t find happiness. He is separated from the rest of the world by the symbolic wall. ‘The Wall’ will be screened tonight at 10:00 p.m in the castle in Kazimierz.
