Tastenarbeiter – Alexander von Schlippenbach (2023)
He is one of the forefathers of European free jazz: Alexander von Schlippenbach has been following his own path for decades, playing the piano, composing and leading bands. Thsis film now paints a very personal portrait, showing biographical breaks but also departures. He reconstructs Schlippenbach's path into the musician collective of the now legendary “Free Music Production” (FMP), for whom free jazz meant breaking boundaries.
Director: Tilman Urbach
