Growing up, the salific power of music

(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 26 - The savific power of music also in relation to politics all in one film. This is CRESCENDO #makemusicnotwar by Dror Zahavi, freely inspired by the history of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra created by Daniel Barenboim and Eduard Said. In cinemas from August 27th distributed by Satine Film, CRESCENDO talks about the seemingly crazy project of creating an orchestra made up of young Israelis and Palestinians. This at least is the will of Maestro Sporck who undertakes a mission without hope which, thanks to his tenacity, will come to life. Sporck's illusion, played by Peter Simonischek (best actor at the European Film Awards for Meet Toni Erdmann), is that from the vibrato of two violins in unison, a hope of peace, mutual understanding, friendship and perhaps even love can arise. two factions divided by an ancient and incurable hatred. Among the italentuosi young actors of the film also Mehdi Meskar (Pizza edatteri, No more religion), who has become an idol among the very young for the cult series Skam Italia. In the film, Eduard Sporck, world-famous director and musician, is proposed to form, for a single concert, an orchestra composed of young Palestinians and Israelis. Thus began a challenge for him that goes beyond achieving artistic perfection. Divided by an incurable hatred, raised in a climate of war and aggression, the musicians are unable to make a team. Especially the two violinists: the proud Palestinian Layla and the vain Israeli Ron ideally lead the hostile two factions, highlighting the conflict that separates them.
