Triskel ECM Cinema at Guinness Cork Jazz Festival
Triskel will screen two ECM films to open the Triskel ECM Weekend at Guinness Cork Jazz Festival.
Open Land – Meeting John Abercrombie
Open Land – Meeting John Abercrombie
90 mins – 2017 – Documentary – Dir: Arno Oehri
Featuring: John Abercrombie, Lisa Abercrombie, Adam Nussbaum and Gary Versace
Amazingly authentic, the film Open Land offers an unforgettably intimate portrait of its protagonist, jazz legend John Abercrombie who died in August 2017. This wonderful encounter is as poetic and atmospherically dense as Abercrombie’s music. A labour of love and deep admiration Open Land is a subtle and very personal portrait that gives an insight into the life and work of this outstanding artist. To glimpse genius on such an intimate level is nothing short of revelatory.
Sounds and Silence: Travels with Manfred Eicher
88 mins – 2010 – Documentary – Dir: Peter Guyer, Norbert Wiedmer
Featuring: Manfred Eicher, Arvo Pärt, Anouar Brahem
If every film has a soundtrack, does it not stand to reason that every soundtrack has a film? This would seem to be the guiding question behind Sounds and Silence. In this unprecedented DVD release, documentarians Peter Guyer and Norbert Wiedmer set out to capture ECM Records as a living entity in which human labour and ingenuity are the dual heart of musical life. Although billed as a “road movie” and patterned by footage of label founder and producer Manfred Eicher in various states of transport, it is equally concerned with the non-literal paths that have led to the creation, sustenance, and influence of the German imprint and its ongoing permutations. They keyword here is “ongoing” because Eicher and his trust have only intensified their productivity since 1969, when it all began, to the point of releasing, on average, an album per week.
