NATIONAL SHORT FILM SECTION
World Premiere
An intimate portrait of the legendary Renaissance and Baroque musician Jordi Savall, who at 84 years old continues to dedicate his life to music with extraordinary passion and discipline. The camera follows the maestro through a recording session in the medieval church of Cardona, the solemnity of a concert at the Philharmonie de Paris, and the quietness of his home, exploring the sources from which he draws the strength to keep creating within the boundaries of time. Through interviews with the musician and those close to him, as well as a valuable and rarely seen archival collection, the film contemplates both the past of an unrepeatable career and the drive to always look ahead, planning new projects. This is both a reflection on aging and legacy, and an inspiring ode to the power of absolute dedication to art.
Premiere in collaboration with the Jordi Savall Festival.
