Moving Image Production renewed the successful co-operation with director Arjanne Laan (Mama Calle, Velo Negro) with the project Music as a Weapon.
Music as a Weapon is a Documentary and Podcast series about the power of music. The arena is the world of music and censorship. The subject is musicians in exile. Arjanne Laans' mission is to unravel why repressive regimes fear music and why they are so eager to persecute musicians.
Important character in Music as a Weapon is Dutch/Chilean composer Patricio Wang. In Chile he was charged by the military regime of Pinochet, because he made “forbidden” music. Patricio left Chile forty years ago, but only recently he could transform his experiences into a piece of music.
The development of Music as a Weapon is financed by the Prins Bernhard Cultural Fund and the Dutch Film Fund.
The project is on the road since 2016 and will continue until 2021.
More and more cases of censorship on music are detected.
Latest the one of Spanish Rapper Valtonic. He has fled from Spain and is now in exil in Belgium.
