Retrospective
Heddy Honigmann has always anticipated the fast pace of our time. As a contrast to this she provides us with the magic and the intimacy of the moment. Her perspective is deeply humanistic: she celebrates harsh life in all its beauty.
THE UNDERGROUND ORCHESTRA
Niederlande 1997 – Director: Heddy Honigmann – Original with English subtitles – Length: 108 min.
The musicians dreamt of a better tomorrow. Today they live in Paris, in modest circumstances and often illegally. When they play in markets, on the streets and in the metro, their lost homelands can be heard - and a picture of a cosmopolitan Paris unfolds.
