The musical life of a talented jazz pianist is about to meet with the Xiamen audience on the big screen
The film is based on the short and brilliant life of the talented jazz pianist Mieczyslaw Kosz. The young Miette's eyesight gradually faded due to an illness, but the piano opened a new door for him, and with his extraordinary musical talent, Miette found a new soul to live, and used the power given by music to impact the imprisonment of fate again and against the injustice of fate.
The "Most Popular Foreign Film Selection Unit of Xiamen Audiences" of Golden Rooster International Film Festival is a selection unit independent of the Golden Rooster Award, and is conducted in the mode of "audience vote + professional judge selection". In addition to the artistic achievements, ideas, techniques and technical quality of the shortlisted films, whether the film proposition meets the theme of this film festival is also one of the important criteria. The theme of this year's Golden Rooster International Film Festival is "Empathy". "The Blind Organist" (provisional translation) delicately combs the life of Miyette with superb audiovisual language, hooks up the audience off-screen with beautiful notes, affects the emotions of the viewers, and experiences Miyette's pain and confusion, persistence and madness together, triggering strong empathy among the viewers. This delicate expression of emotion coincides with the theme of the film festival, and I believe it will definitely bring a different kind of touch to the audience.
Sweeping through the major international film festivals in Europe, the reputation of the festival is the first to win
Previously, the film has swept several film awards in Europe, including seven awards at the Polish Film Festival Silver Lion (Best Feature), Best Actor, Best Cinematography and polish Film Awards for Best Film Score and Film Sound. It is worth mentioning that at the 23rd Shanghai International Film Festival this year, the film was nominated for the highest award" "Golden Jubilee Award for Best Film".
During the festival, the three screenings of "The Blind Pianist" (provisional translation) were full, and after the screening, it was praised by the industry and outside: "The performance scenes are very exquisite, especially the first complete piano passage is amazing." "It's not over, jazz is so beautiful!" "The audiovisual language of the film that closely follows the emotions of the characters and the storyline is amazing!" "The best art film I've seen this year!" "The film crossed the barriers of language, regional and cultural differences, touched the Chinese audience halfway away, and this time it was shortlisted for the Golden Rooster International Film Festival, once again certifying its excellent quality."
Recreate the divine jazz performance scene for a great audiovisual experience
Directed by director Macchey Peptzhica and starring David Ognyk, the film is the second collaboration between the two filmmakers after the 2013 award-winning film "Life Is So Beautiful", and the two have long been tacit on-screen partners. The cast behind the scenes of the film is also very eye-catching, arranged by polish jazz pianist and music producer Lešek Mozzel; in terms of photography, the film has been nominated for the Golden Frog Award (the highest award) of the Camera international film festival, which is hailed as the bellwether of the Academy Award for Best Cinematography, the highest honor for cinematographers around the world, and the sound and picture quality of the film is evident.
Several jazz performances in the film are of a very high standard, which can be called a god-level reproduction. The director uses a large number of expressive shots and sound effects to let the audience more intuitively perceive the hero's musical world and the extraordinary charm of jazz. It is reported that "Blind Violinist" (provisional translation) will participate in the screening at this Golden Rooster International Film Festival, so stay tuned.
