While most films we’ve seen at Tribeca Film Festival depend upon a programmer’s scheduling to fit with our own, there were several that fit perfectly with the Women in Film lineup that I focus on. Yuri Turchyn found the most appropo music for this episode.
The opening starts with Music for Hedy (unknown); You Stepped Out of a Dream (Johnny Mathis); For Ice Mother, a Czech film (Tribeca Award Winner for Screenwriting) surrounding an older women’s rebirth and renaissance following a chance meeting with ice swimmers, we hear opening from the Moldau (Smetana); Do not listen to other reviews or poorly written program descriptions otherwise almost didn’t go see November, an Estonian film (Tribeca Award Winner for Cinematography) that encompasses Slavic folk music, legendary and pagan rites that drives women in their seasonal lives and loves. The closing theme finds a full circle in Music for Hedy.
