Film: „I dance, but my heart is crying“

In the organizer's words:

"I dance, but my heart is crying - Ich tanz, aber mein Herz weint" is a sensational trouvaille: the film tells the story of music that was considered lost for over seventy years. It brings back compositions that were recorded by Jewish artists in Berlin in the 1930s and were completely destroyed on the night of November 9, 1938. For decades, this musical heritage was considered lost. The film allows the music to shine in a new form and at the same time tells of the fate of those artists who left behind a powerful cultural legacy. The recordings were reinterpreted by an international ensemble. Christoph Weinert's film is full of emotion, from tears of joy to tears of sorrow.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with Yves Kuglmann (co-producer of "I dance but my heart is crying") and klezmer punk musician Daniel Kahn, moderated by Adrian Prechtel (deputy head of the Abendzeitung cultural desk).
