FRI 1 DECEMBER, 2023 6 – 8.45PM
Opening Film: The Underground Orchestra (Heddy Honigman, 1997)
Rarely screened in the UK, The Underground Orchestra is a documentary portrait of a disparate collection of international musicians from Bosnia, Romania, Argentina, Armenia, Algeria, Venezuela, Zaire, Mali and Vietnam. United by their experiences of exile and political repression, they make their way by playing music on the streets of Paris and in the Métro.
With the intense curiosity that characterised all of her work, Honigmann follows them through the city’s underground and immigrant quarters, listening to their music, and to the often harrowing stories that brought them there.
Pieter van Huystee, the producer of The Underground Orchestra and many of Honigmann’s other documentaries, will join us remotely for a Q&A session after the film.
