PRESS: MONOPOL STREAMING TIPS. ART FILMS WORTH WATCHING IN FEBRUARY.

The art magazine Monopol has this to say about “Rembrandts Century: Art, Market and Business”: “For her documentary, the film’s maker Frauke Schlieckau looked over the shoulder of Rembrandt collector Thomas Kaplan, among others, as he opened a box containing the smallest of Rembrandt’s paintings. She zoomed in on paintings that are usually hidden from public view. She also spoke with Baukje Coenen of Sotheby’s about the (metaphorical and literal) complexity of the paintings – and about how restorers bring their secrets to light. The result is a tribute to the Dutch golden boy, sustained by the interviewees’ love of his paintings. It’s a film that paints a picture of the era that produced Rembrandt, contrasts him with other painters of his own time like Jan Vermeer, and illuminates what is still admired about him today.”

IN PRODUCTION: MUSIC OF THE FUTURE: HOW CLASSICAL MUSIC IS REINVENTING ITSELF

Opera and classical concerts are out. Audience numbers have been declining for years. Young audiences just don’t seem to want to know anything about classical music anymore, preferring to go to festivals and electro concerts. They are socialized with pop music and don’t care much about what Brahms and Beethoven have to say. It almost seems as if the industry has lost touch. Is classical music still relevant or has it already fallen out of time? Can young musicians still successfully save it through the 21st century? And if so, how? Written and directed by Frauke Schlieckau. A Bottega Berlin production for Neue Zürcher Zeitung / SRF / 3Sat. 30 min.
