International Prize for Film and Media Music Gala
Presenter: Catherine Ann Berger
The highlight of the 2002 International Film Music Biennial's program
is a gala evening. Celebrities from the world of films, music and
politics will be congregating on Bonn's Museum Square to honor the
prizewinners. On the musical program will be such artists as Berlin
cult band "17 Hippies" and US singing star Jocelyn B. Smith. There
will be endowed prizes for the up-and-coming generation of artists,
presented by the sponsors from the film business. VIVA presenter Janin
Reichardt will be awarding the prize for the best soundtrack song
on behalf of VIVA viewers; the patrons of the event will be presenting
this year's International Prize for the best recent feature film music
and the Erich Wolfgang Korngold Prize. This honorary award is being
presented for the third time within the framework of the International
Film Music Biennial Bonn for an artist's life time achievement. The
recipient of this year's award will be Mikis Theodorakis. The IFMB
will thus be honoring a composer whose extensive opus represents an
excellent example of the message advanced by an art that transcends
the deep rift between elitist "isolated" contemporary music and more
accessible popular culture. The prize is additionally awarded in recognition
of the fact that Theodorakis' artistic and cultural commitment as
a composer was always inspired by his political views and his great
human integrity.
The gala evening will be presented by Chaterine Ann Berger, presenter
and editor of the 3sat magazine "Kulturzeit".
Only a limited supply of tickets is available to the general public.
Admission: € 75.- (advance bookings only, plus advanced booking charge)
