Concert like no other on screen

THE CONCERT will be screened at the Upper Yarra Arts Centre this month.
It will be the seventh film shown as part of the Yarra Valley Film Society’s 12-month program.
The French/Russian film is a variety of comedy, drama and music made in 2009.
A former conductor of the Bolshoi Orchestra, who was fired for using Jewish musicians, brings the old players together to impersonate the real orchestra on a trip to Paris.
Although the premise lacks credibility, Radu Milaileanu’s joyous film is a real crowd pleaser.
The Upper Yarra Arts Centre will show The Concert at 7.30pm on Tuesday 12 July. Guests can see the film for a one-off price (11 films for $60) or join the society to be included in discussion sessions after the films.
