MICHAEL NYMAN IN PROGRESS
A film by Silvia Beck
The film is about a very special moment in the famous composer's artistic life.
Composing with innovative minimalism for films as memorable as "The
Draughtsman's Contract", "The Ogre", "Man on Wire", and most famously for
Campion's "The Piano", he has reached an international audience. But now, Michael
Nyman is about to become a filmmaker himself. Featuring unprecedented access to
the composer and his working life, this film shows one of the great composers of our
time in all his diversity and endless energy. From London to Berlin, in Mexico, Poland,
the Netherlands and Portugal the film is also a journey through the musical world
today. It shows Michael Nyman, the musician, in his concerts with The Michael
Nyman Band and live collaborations with other internationally known musicians or
orchestras.
But throughout his journeys, this film discovers Nyman's increasing passion for
filming and photography. Witnessing the development of his visual works from the very
first moment of inspiration, it gives a unique insight into Michael Nyman's personal
views, his thoughts and emotions; his world.
