“celebrates the remarkable true story…an enjoyably off-beat blend of biopic, historical pageant and music-geek lecture” (The Film Verdict)

“a tribute to youthful audacity, artistic brilliance, and the transformative power of music.” (Atlantic International Film Festival)

“a lively cocktail of documentary, biography and pinches of fiction; a musical whirlwind tearing through Berlin’s jazz scene at breakneck speed” (Film Fest Gent)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!

Behind one of the best-selling jazz records of all time, Keith Jarrett’s 1975 Köln Concert, how it almost didn’t happen, and how one formidable German teenager, Vera Brandes, breaks every boundary to set the conditions for the creation of a masterpiece. Vera, still in high school when she started producing and promoting music concerts in Cologne, puts everything on the line to put on this show. But Vera believes in the power of music, and she’s never seen anyone play like Keith Jarrett before.
