UNQUIET TRAVELLER, JULY 12 4:30 & 15 4:30
Director: Bruno Monsaingeon83 Minutes
"Unquiet Traveller defines Polish pianist Piotr Anderszewski as a Romantic loner. Monsaingeon follows him on a specially set up train journey through snow-bound eastern Europe, in a carriage converted for him to take his Steinway on board. Photogenic and big-souled, Anderszewski proves utterly beguiling, whether chattering about his Warsaw childhood, taking his granny shopping in Budapest, or discussing his notorious perfectionism." - The Guardian
