Film: Once Upon a Time There Was a Singing Blackbird
Elbphilharmonie+
As part of the »Caucasus« Festival, the Elbphilharmonie is screening seven Georgian films at the Metropolis Kino (cinema) to complement the diverse musical programme – in the original language with subtitles. The films cover a varied range of subjects, from the heroic epic to family drama. The series comes to a close with a screening of »Once Upon a Time There Was a Singing Blackbird«, which was produced in 1970 in the former Soviet Union.
The Elbphilharmonie’s supporting programme offers a variety of different angles on the music performed – either to complement the concert itself, or as an experience in its own right. As a rule, the Elbphilharmonie+ events are interdisciplinary in nature: exhibitions, talks to accompany a particular concert or events featuring flamenco dancing or scat singing. They take place in the Elbphilharmonie itself in some cases, as well as in museums, libraries and local culture centres.
