"I Dance, But My Heart Is Crying"

We're very excited to announce that "I Dance, But My Heart Is Crying" will be showing soon in cinemas throughout Germany. This beautifully shot and recorded feature-length documentary film, directed by Christoph Weinert, interweaves the Semer Ensemble in concert with the incredible back story of two Berlin-based record labels in the 1930s that managed to record the last sounds of Jewish artists across all music genres on the eve of the Shoah. The film vividly tells the story of the original record labels, how the recordings were destroyed by Nazi mobs on November 9th, 1938, how 60 years later the heroic efforts of a few passionate record collectors led to the miraculous recovery of the original recordings, and how the Semer Ensemble came to revive and reinterpret these rescued musical treasures. The film brilliantly captures a live concert of the Semer Ensemble in closeups that communicate the power of the music and the performances like never before, and it also includes personal, revealing interviews with all of the members of the ensemble.
Here's the trailer for the film. We hope you enjoy it! As soon as we know the dates and places where the film will be showing we'll post them here and on our Facebook page.
