Getting Lear: How To Show And Not Tell

"All documentaries must invoke, as best they can, the spirit rather than the letter of the truth - and they are exciting because of this. A documentary's authenticity ultimately lies in its organizing vision rather than any mechanical fidelity to life." - Michael Rabiger

FLORIDA FILM FESTIVAL 2010


The Young Composers Challenge

DIRECTED BY LISA MILLS
USA, 2010
93 MIN
WORLD PREMIERE

What do you get when you cross Spellbound (FFF2002) with Amadeus? You get THE YOUNG COMPOSERS CHALLENGE! The Young Composers Challenge is open to musicians (ages 13-18) living in the Southeastern United States. Each year hundreds of future Mozarts gather in Orlando, Florida, for a one-day workshop with world-renowned composers. After the workshop, the musicians have the summer to create their own classical composition. The scores are judged by a panel of experts, and the winners will have their pieces performed by a full orchestra. The film follows four boys and one girl through the demanding process of composing an original score. Each must balance the demands of his or her teen life (anxiety disorders, blindness, shyness, college, etc.) with the fast approaching competition deadline. Watch as the judging process begins, and the suspense and anticipation builds. Who will win? The end will surprise and amaze music lovers as well as anyone who loves the thrill of a challenge.
