In cooperation with the Master of Art Film Festival, this IMZ Academy Session presented the French director Bruno Monsaingeon and the British director John Bridcut, two of the most acclaimed music documentary film makers in the world.
In a conversation with IMZ Academy Director Peter Maniura, himself a distinguished documentary director, they delved into the secrets of what makes a really good music documentary with examples drawn from their own work and discuss the challenges and rewards of working with great artists from Glenn Gould to Jonas Kaufmann.
After each of the very informative presentations, IMZ Academy Session Participants got to enjoy a screening of “Jonas Kaufmann - Tenor for the Ages” by John Bridcut and “The Red Baton - Scenes from musical life in Soviet Russia” by Bruno Monsaingeon.
