Unisono
Unisono, Czech Republic, 2005, 5 min, IDF Video Library
A five-minute film made by Saša Gedeon is part of an unusual project called Visions of Europe. Its objective is to create a colourful mosaic of views within the expanding EU. The director approached ambassadors working in the Czech Republic and asked each of them to sing the Czech national anthem. An amusing mini-reportage reflects the stages of preparation, rehearsals and the final performances. Untrained voices gradually mingle together, uniting in a single disharmonic unison. The lightness and wit are completely in compliance with the basic idea of the project. The film points out the different cultural traditions that must be preserved, rather than mixed into a single bland whole.
