‘Glass, My Unfullfilled Life’ will be screened at the Music Film Festival as pre-premiere – in the presence of the filmmaker himself and a short concert with the glass organ.
From building his first glass organ with his own hands to a passionate meeting with the world-famous composer Arvo Part. Rogier Kappers wants to realize the dream he had as a nine-year-old boy: building an organ from singing glass and becoming famous with it. He was always a dreamer, full of ideas and projects that were supposed to bring him luck or fortune, but something always went wrong.
A celebration of recognition for many of us, and a celebration of the eternal appeal of music… and love!
Dutch filmmaker Rogier Kappers became known for the award-winning music documentary Lomax The Songhunter. With ‘Glas’ he gives an insight into the event industry, which he goes through with his glass organ: from street artist to stage act.
‘Glass’ is a great success at international film festivals. Such as Thessaloniki, Greece (“Sensitive, tender, bittersweet and highly entertaining”) and Millennium Docs, Poland (“Heart-warming, funny, great”).
