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.

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.
