DANCE DANCE CLASS
CLASS
The borough Treptow in Berlin on the 28th
of January 2003.
In a former omnibus depot in an industrial
backwater something amazing is
happening.
250 pupils from 25 nations are dancing to
Stravinsky's 'Sacre du Printemps', which
they have rehearsed for nearly three
months, trained by the British
choreographer Royston Maldoom and
accompanied by the Berlin Philharmonic
Orchestra under its chief conductor, Sir
Simon Rattle.
RHYTHM IS IT! follows the fascinating
process leading to the Sacre performance,
the most ambitious project in the
Zukunft@BPhil program for the year 2003.
It shows the first efforts at dancing made
by youngsters, few of whom had prior
knowledge of classical music and
expressive dance; it shows the
perseverance, affection and patience with
which Royston Maldoom and his
assistants Susannah Broughton and
Volker Eisenach care for them, and it
shows the auxiliary efforts of teachers and
the rehearsals of the Berlin Philharmonic
Orchestra held during the same period.
Through the eyes of three young
protagonists we take part in the project's
development, its ups and downs, doubts
and enthusiasms, uncertainties and
renewals of self-confidence.
It is a fascinating journey into new,
undreamed-of worlds and reveals
surprising facets of the protagonists'
personalities.

boyhood self, Stephen Leacock (Owen
Best) at age 14, and his real parents -
Agnes (Jill Hennessy) and Peter (Rick

DAYS
Directed by Jessica Gorter
Is it better to acknowledge an unpalatable
truth or to embrace the comfort of myth?
Jessica Gorter's 900 DAYS contrasts the
devastating and unforgettable stories
recounted by survivors of the Siege of
Leningrad, the infamous German
blockade, which caused the deaths of
more than 1 million people during World
War II, with the triumphant memorials
fabricated by the Russian state.
The blockade, one of the most incredible,
defining events of World War II, remains
largely unremembered outside of Russia.
In September 1941, the 3 million
inhabitants of the city now known as St.
Petersburg were trapped without food or
drinking water. For 900 days of subzero
temperatures, people had to eat glue,
leather soles, cats, and perhaps even their
fellow human beings. When the city finally
opened up again, nearly a million had
died.
Immediately after the war, investigations of
