Program

"Mikrokosmos" is an amazing documentary from 1996 about the everyday life of insects in a small meadow somewhere in the south of France. For four years, the directors roamed through a meadow with highly differentiated macro lenses and found a fascinating world beyond human perception. As if the viewer himself had shrunk to the size of a microorganism, grassy areas appear like impenetrable jungles, water droplets as big as balloons and the miniature main actors like creatures from a fantasy thriller. The Kammerphilharmonie Graubünden, under the direction of Philippe Bach, will play the music for this spectacular nature film live. This type of performance creates a very special connection between image and sound, which allows the audience to immerse themselves deeply in a mysterious and hidden world. A special cinema evening that appeals to the senses and presents the wonders of nature in an impressive way.
