Documentary Film Playing For Change: Peace Through Music Inspires Through Film and Music
November 3, 2009 Colorado Springs, CO
The Independent Film Society of Colorado along with Imagination Celebration and Colorado College will screen "Playing For Change: Peace Through Music" at Colorado College’s Armstrong Hall on Nov. 10, 2009 at 7 p.m.
Director/Editor Jonathan Walls will be in attendance to introduce the film and stay for a Q & A session after the film’s screening.
"Playing for Change: Peace Through Music" is a story of hope, struggle, perseverance and joy. Directors Mark Johnson and Walls, along with the Playing For Change Team, traveled the globe with a single-minded passion to connect the world through music.
Their ambitious journey took them to post-apartheid South Africa, through the ancient sites of the Middle East, to the remote beauty of the Himalayas and beyond.
Using innovative mobile technology, they filmed and recorded more than 100 musicians, largely outdoors in parks, plazas and promenades, in doorways, in cobblestone streets, and amid hilly pueblos. Each captured performance creates a new mix in which essentially the artists are all performing together, albeit hundreds or thousands of miles apart.
"Playing For Change: Peace Through Music" is the story of this unparalleled international collaboration, and the remarkable power of music.
