Beethovens Neun – Ode an die Menschlichkeit (Beethoven's Nine – Ode to Humanity)

Author, Direction, Narrating Voice: Larry Weinstein. Sound Track: B9. Editing: David New. Photography: John Minh Tran, Sven Jakob-Engelmann, Filip Drozdz. Other Participants: Keri-Lynn Wilson, Gabriela Lena Frank, Larry Weinstein. Producers: Jason Charters, Bernhard von Huelsen, Liam Romalis, Maria Willer. Producing Organisation: 3B Produktion. Coproducing Organisation: Riddle Films. Production Year: 2023.

In early 2023, filmmaker Larry Weinstein set out to make a documentary about Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It was supposed to be about how far we have come in the two hundred years since its writing. However, as world events drag Larry into his own film, the question becomes a deeply personal one. Beethoven's Nine is a documentary about music, but also about war and hope. It follows nine unique individuals, including Ukrainian musicians, a deaf composer, a Polish rock star, a best-selling author, a legendary cartoonist, and Weinstein himself, as they try to better understand the legacy of Beethoven's Ninth, the composer's own struggles, the inspiration that music can provide, and how humanity continues to look for hope even in the darkest times.

Début 2023, le réalisateur Larry Weinstein envisage de tourner un documentaire sur la neuvième Symphonie de Beethoven. L'idée était de montrer les progrès accomplis deux-cents ans après sa composition. Mais les grands avènements mondiaux s'insinuent dans son œuvre et Weinstein en fait désormais une affaire profondément personnelle. La Neuvième de Beethoven est un documentaire sur la musique, la guerre et l'espérance. Weinstein nous présente neuf personnages hors du commun – dont un musicien ukrainien, un compositeur sourd, une rockstar polonaise, un auteur de best-seller, un dessinateur humoristique mythique, et lui-même – qui s'interrogent sur l'héritage de La Neuvième, sur les tourments du compositeur, sur la musique en tant que source d'inspiration et sur l'Humanité, toujours en quête d'espérance, même dans les chapitres les plus sombres de l'Histoire.

All'inizio del 2023, il regista Larry Weinstein ha deciso di realizzare un documentario sulla Nona Sinfonia di Beethoven che avrebbe dovuto parlare dei progressi compiuti nei duecento anni trascorsi dalla sua composizione. Tuttavia, mentre gli eventi mondiali si insinuano nel suo film, la questione diventa profondamente personale per Larry. La Nona di Beethoven è un documentario sulla musica, ma anche sulla guerra e sulla speranza. Segue nove individui straordinari, tra cui dei musicisti ucraini, un compositore sordo, una rockstar polacca, un autore di best-seller, un leggendario fumettista e lo stesso Weinstein, che si cercano di capire l'eredità della Nona, i tormenti del compositore, come la musica può fornire ispirazione e come l'umanità continua a cercare la speranza anche nei momenti più bui.

Author: Claudio Centioni. Direction: Edoardo Anselmi. Producing Organisations: GA&A Productions, Tinkerland. Coproducing Organisations: ARTE GEIE, RAI Cultura, Luce Cinecittà; collaboration with RAI Teche; association with RTS, RTBF.

Surprisingly, an anonymous emergency door of a concert hall can be the symbol of a community or even a nation, just by means of a stencil. In January 2019, in Paris, three men steal the Bataclan door depicting Banksy's grieving woman after the 2015 terrorist attacks, nicknamed the Sad Girl. The theft sparks worldwide outrage, French and Italian authorities investigate. A year later, the door is found in an attic in the Italian countryside, sparking a legal battle over ownership. Through exclusive testimonies and expert insights, we unravel this story, describing the complexities of street art and Banksy's enigmatic legacy.

C'est incroyable comme une simple porte de secours peinte au pochoir puisse devenir l'incarnation d'une communauté et même de tout un pays. En janvier 2019, trois inconnus volent la porte du Bataclan, la mythique salle de concerts du nord-est parisien, où Bansky avait peint une jeune fille en pleurs, baptisée La jeune fille triste, en hommage aux victimes des attentats terroristes de novembre 2015. Le vol déclenche une vague d'indignation dans le monde. Les autorités françaises et italiennes enquêtent activement. Un an plus tard, la porte est retrouvée dans le grenier d'une ferme en Italie et s'ensuit une longue bataille légale pour en déterminer la propriété. Avec des témoignages en exclusivité et des experts, nous lèverons le voile sur cette affaire, sur le phénomène complexe du street art et sur l'héritage de l'énigmatique Bansky.

È sorprendente come un'anonima porta di emergenza di una sala da concerto possa diventare il simbolo di una comunità o addirittura di una nazione, semplicemente con uno stencil. Nel gennaio 2019, a Parigi, tre uomini rubano la porta del Bataclan raffigurante la donna addolorata realizzata da Banksy a seguito degli attacchi terroristici del 2015, soprannominata "la Ragazza triste". Il furto scatena l'indignazione mondiale, le autorità francesi e italiane indagano. Un anno dopo, la porta viene ritrovata in una soffitta nella campagna italiana, scatenando una battaglia legale sulla proprietà. Attraverso testimonianze esclusive e approfondimenti di esperti, sveliamo questa storia, descrivendo le complessità della street art e l'enigmatica eredità di Banksy.
