Live<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The film “Live<\/strong>” by Lisa Charlotte Friederich<\/strong> takes place in a near dystopian future, in which all public life – including concerts – has been moved to virtual space because of the danger of terrorist attacks. It combines science fiction elements and a classic sibling conflict to create a thrilling drama full of stirring music. Its basic premise – human encounters are, with a few exceptions, only allowed virtually – shows disturbing parallels to the current situation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1561290391124{border-right-width: -15px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”46315″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”46329″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Synopsis:<\/h3>\n

The world in a near future: The number of terrorist attacks has increased so drastically that encounters with other people and any form of cultural life can only take place in virtual space. Public gatherings are prohibited for security reasons. There are no more concerts, no more supermarkets, no theatre, no pubs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1561290391124{border-right-width: -15px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”46260″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]The psychologist Claire counsels survivors of terrorist attacks. When one day she finds a ticket, an analogue piece of paper, in the possession of a patient, she breaks out of her life in isolation. Driven by the need for community, she and her brother Aurel, a star trumpeter who for years has only stood in front of virtual audiences, plan a secret live concert in front of real, physically present people. With the help of the hackers Ada and Maximus, they succeed in realising their plan despite all adversities. When the mother of the siblings turns up shortly afterwards, an age-old conflict breaks out, confronting Claire with an insurmountable opponent: herself.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]”Live<\/strong>” is a frighteningly relevant film that gets under one’ s skin because of its cool aesthetics, poignant music and a great cast.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1596563535341{margin-bottom: -5px !important;}”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1561290391124{border-right-width: -15px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1604234637926{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Director’s note by Lisa Charlotte Friederich:<\/h3>\n

“My very first visit to the opera was on the rocks because I was actually sick. Fortunately, I was allowed to come along anyway. I was about three years old and was sandwiched between my mother and grandmother. It was insanely hot and dark. When the Queen of the Night was being lifted out of the slot for her great revenge aria, a generous amount of stage fog came into play and the orchestra roared off, while I had the feeling that I could grasp the singer with my hand. I thought it was magnificent.<\/em><\/p>\n

From today’s perspective, this visit to the opera seems insane. I am also absolutely against going into crowds of people when you are ill or carelessly triggering infection chains. But since the appearance of the corona virus, I keep remembering intensive concert or theatre experiences, of which this first visit to the opera is one of the most impressive. Back in the days when we still clung to each other loaded with germs, when I inhaled not only the perfume of the old lady next to me but also her viruses and the gentleman behind me coughed over me in a friendly manner. Today these infectious memories accompany the anxious question whether – at some point – it will again be possible to sit close together in the dark, listening, following a story, dancing and touching each other.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1561290391124{border-right-width: -15px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”46327″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”46317″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1596568046288{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 25px !important;background-color: #efefef !important;}”]
