Tamara de Lempicka—The Queen of Art Déco

A look back at the violent conflict between the two leading figures of musical modernity, Arnold Schönberg and Igor Stravinsky, in the first decades of the 20th century. Although Arnold Schönberg and Igor Stravinsky both had a decisive influence on the fourth art, their creations remained diametrically opposed. While the Austrian developed the dodecaphonic method, placing the twelve notes of the chromatic scale at the heart of the composition technique to the detriment of tonality, his Russian rival based his practice on stylistic eclecticism. Their supporters formed two opposing camps, and the two composers - one the father of the Second Viennese School, the other of Neoclassicism - became, in the wake of their successes, the figureheads of a conflict that marked the history of music by its duration and intensity.

This documentary celebrates the spirit of freedom and joie de vivre of the Clara Mosch artist collec-tive. Starting in the late 1970s, these non-conformist free spirits from Karl-Marx-Stadt declared the GDR a happening zone. Great, but also serious fun, which seems more relevant than ever today - and a poetic cinematic portrait of the power of art.
