A film screening and a conversation with visiting artist Karen Brunwasser.
A broken string, fractured echo chamber, rusting valves. One brilliant conductor, three gifted composers, and 100 musicians meet for four days of rehearsals. They speak different languages. Their instruments are broken. An orchestra of professional and amateur musicians, young and old, prepare, against all odds, for a one-time-only concert in Jerusalem. A poetic, engaging take on broken and whole presents diverse Jerusalemite characters and an attempt to create harmony in a discordant city.
Directed by Yuval Hameiri, Michal Vaknin
