IGOR LEVIT - NO FEAR
The documentary IGOR LEVIT - NO FEAR observes the pianist as he explores his "life after Beethoven", as he searches for the next challenges, for his identity as an artist and a human being. We witness Levit recording new works in collaboration with his congenial producer and sound engineer Andreas Neubronner, working with conductors, orchestras and artists. Then Covid comes along and puts the brakes on this life. In a situation of involuntary standstill, Levit is one of the first to become inventive and establish a musical lifeline between himself and his audience on Instagram and Twitter with his "house concerts" streamed every evening. Again and again over a period of two years, filmmaker Regina Schilling (Kulenkampff's Shoes) takes the time to enter the cosmos of Igor Levit's music - his intense immersion in the music, his turning to the audience, this irresistible desire to share - and to give space to the mystery beyond words.
