Zum Abschied Mozart

Artist, anarchist, drop-out, paperless immigrant: Giovanni Segantini was all of this. He created, usually under the open sky, monumental, idealized alpine landscapes. In the course of his lifetime, he climbed ever higher in search of more light, finally dying at 41 in an Engadin alpine hut at 2700m. The film offers insight into his difficult childhood and boyhood, shares his inner processes and crises as a painter, as well as his contradictory dealings with motherly love and eroticism – and ultimately his desperate struggle against death…

Almost 50 years ago, women and men all over the word dreamed of changing the world. What is left today of the expectations and the hopes of the people that flooded the streets?

Film shows the development of an artistic process over several weeks in the style of well-known education projects such as Rhythm is it! We experience great moments and setbacks, hopes and disappointments on the way to the performance at the end of an intensive time together. The result is an insightful documentary that for the first time takes a detailed look behind the scenes of an art of movement that rarely steps into the bright spotlight. A contemporary portrait of eurythmy. A film that sets everything in motion - and opens up new perspectives.
