LRM Online's Gig Patta talked with director Jakub Piątek for the documentary Pianoforte.
Considered to be one of the most prestigious competitions in classical music, the International Chopin Piano Competition, held in Warsaw every five years since 1927, has been a career launchpad for such piano virtuosos as Krystian Zimerman, Mitsuko Uchida, Kevin Kenner, and Vladimir Ashkenazy. The competition itself is a real roller coaster of a classical ride, with extremely tough qualifying rules, multiple stages, legendary jurors (Arthur Rubinstein!), and a whole lot of pressure.
Pianoforte makes its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival 2023.
