All the Prodigies
A documentary film about young Mozart pianists who, though very young, express strong and self-confident individualities. In 1767, an eleven-year old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart performed with his sister at a concert in Brno. This concert was the inspiration for the organization of the Amadeus international competition for young pianists. Ninety children, aged five to eleven, participated in this concert in 2005. The film follows eight of these children during the competition and also in their homes. The documentary primarily bears witness to the youngest contemporary generation of European children who are growing up to become surprisingly strong personalities.
Magic Flute Second Time
When the Magic Flute victoriously roamed through European opera houses after the death of its creator, J.W. Goethe decided to write a libretto of the second part of the opera. Since he did not find any composer of Mozart`s greatness in his time, the libretto remained uncomposed. The situation changed in 2005 when a newly reconstructed theatre from Mozart`s time opened in Brno, with an opera novelty on Goethe`s text. The music was written by a leading Czech minimalist composer Vít Zouhar, direction and artistic concept are from the Rocc workshop...
