Crossing the Bridge

"Infectiously enjoyable" – NYTimes.

>From the Cannes Film Festival comes this documentary that captures the
musical diversity of Istanbul. Alexander Hacke, a musician and lover
of sound experimentation (and member of the German avant-garde band
Einstürzende Neubauten) roams the streets of Istanbul with his mobile
recording studio and "magic mike" to assemble an inspired portrait of
Turkish music. His voyage leads to the discovery of a broad spectrum
ranging from modern electronic, rock and hip-hop to classical
"arabesque." By the director of last year's fierce Head On. (Fatih
Akin; 2005; Turkey; 92 min)
