Symphonic Cinema

Symphonic Cinema is an innovative new format, in which classical music masterpieces are visualized into newly created dramafilms. What’s unique about the way we work, is that the films are edited live to the music. The films are created by Dutch film director Lucas van Woerkum. Using customised software, Van Woerkum follows the conductor and orchestra’s interpretation, matching tempi and dynamics to create a visual layer as he performs as ‘image soloist’. In contrast to the modern ‘film live in concert’ format, the film responds to the music. Conductors and orchestras are free to perform completely unrestricted and interpret the music as they wish, whilst the audience is drawn even deeper into the stories of the music.
