CROSSING THE BRIDGE: THE SOUND OF ISTANBUL
A dynamic travelogue into the pulsing heart of the city's music scene, this
film does for Istanbul what Buena Vista Social Club did for Cuba. Former
Einsturzende Neubaten member Alexander Hacke, who will attend Cork Film
Festival, guides us through the mavericks and old masters of Turkish music
and teaches us that as Confucious says: "in order to understand a culture,
you have to listen to the music it makes".
