Transilvania International Film Festival: Cine-concert: The White Nights
Alex Simu and George Dumitriu - Art Museum
Program Info: Live music: Alex Simu and George Dumitriu Director: Boudewijn Koole Country: Netherlands Year: 2016 Duration: 108 minutes
A young geologist arrives in northern Norway on a scientific expedition that takes him far beyond its original purpose. In the Arctic tundra, where the daylight never ends, orientation becomes increasingly difficult, and the planned journey turns into a struggle for survival. Inspired by the novel by Willem Frederik Hermans, White Nights draws you into a tense journey that gradually becomes a search for the self.
The film’s soundtrack (awarded the Gouden Kalf for Best Music) is reinterpreted live by two of the musicians involved in the original recording, Alex Simu and George Dumitriu. The two have collaborated consistently over the years, both in film music and in concert and interdisciplinary projects. Both are highly active on the international jazz scene and have worked with some of the genre’s most important artists.
The White Nights cine-concert is part of Focus Netherlands and is made possible with the support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Romania.
