Ursula Mamlok – Movements

A cinematic portrait of the late German-Jewish composer Ursula Mamlok, by Anne Berrini: in her documentary Ursula Mamlok - Movements, filmmaker Anne Berrini offers a sensitive examination of Mamlok's life, and of the music that played such a central part in it. As a teenager, Mamlok fled from the Nazis, arrived in New York after traveling across three continents, and became one of her generation’s visionary composers. In Movements, Berrini observes Mamlok at work in Germany and accompanies her on a trip to New York City, where Mamlok prepares for a League of Composers concert, meets old friends, and revisits a critically important period of her life. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Miro Magloire, composer, choreographer, and artistic director of New Chamber Ballet.
