We are happy to invite you to the next installment of the ArtHouse Cinema program on Tuesday, January 24, 2017. This time we will screen the film called
Crossing the Bridge – The Sound of Istanbul directed by
Fatih Akin.
Crossing the Bridge: The Sound of Istanbul is a journey through the music scene in modern Istanbul, Turkey, as well as portraying its cultural life. It was screened out of competition at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival. It features German musician Alexander Hacke (member of Einstürzende Neubauten) as the narrator. Hacke and Akın travelled around Istanbul with a mobile recording studio and a microphone, assembling an inspired portrait of Turkish music — from arabesque to indie rock and rap.
