Films+Music=Opening Nights Conn-x

The section consisting of the best musical documentaries of the year lives up to the expectations once more. 'Music & Films' section sounds already interesting not only music wise but because of its cinematographical approach as well.

The section consisting of the best musical documentaries of the year lives up to the expectations once more. 'Music & Films' section sounds already interesting not only music wise but because of its cinematographical approach as well. This September the venues will be filled with beats coming from the following: ?Benda Bilili!?(In competition)- They were homeless and crippled, living in Kinshasa, Congo. Their love for their native rhumba, rhythm'n'blues and reggae enabled them to be known worldwide. A unique taste of soul's power and a fine example of rising above life's worst misfortunes. ?Strange Powers: Stephin Merritt And The Magnetic Fields? (In competition) - 89 minutes seem strangely enough to capture almost everything regarding the unable to be copied sound of The Magnetic Fields and its genius Stephin Merritt. ?Sex And Drugs And Rock'n'Roll?- Ian Dury and the Blockheads, polio and its effects, sex, love, drugs and rock'n' roll in a stylish biopic. You'll have many reasons to be cheerful after seeing this.
