Bread Rebels - now on ARTE Mediathek (Germany)

Now available for streaming! Available until December 2022.

Bread Rebels presents five bakers in Europe who have recognized that working with flour, water and salt can be meaningful and fulfilling. Bread is one of the most diverse and important foods and a great teacher at that. It can teach us a lot about time, diligence and how to deal with the world. From the Caucasus in the east to the Atlantic coast of Brittany, from the mountains of Austria to the cornfields of Denmark - The Bread Rebels take the viewer on a journey that tells of humanity, sustainability and the question of meaning.

IGOR LEVIT - PIANIST

A documentary by Regina Schilling

IGOR LEVIT - PIANIST provides insights into an artist's personality and into the work that determines the artist's life. He does not "rehearse" a piece, he "meets" the work and the composer.
This encounter leads again and again to an intensive confrontation with the artist's own ability to enter into the music, to discover new aspects, sounds and moods that inscribe themselves as "memory of the fingers".
Finally, when the sonata is performed in the Concert Hall, we discover how the soloist's work merges into the shared experience with the audience.
