Conduct! Jede Bewegung Zählt

Every two years 24 young conductors travel to the Frankfurt Opera House to compete against each other in the world's leading Sir Georg Solti conducting competition. The movie "Conduct! Every Move Counts" accompanies five of them through evaluation rounds up to the final, which two of them reach.
The conductors have to endure challenges in Frankfurt that put to test their musical skills and their character.
The movie consequently displays a complex drama about friendship and competition, talent and maturity, success and failure.Thanks to the precise observations of the camera and unvarnished comments by the musicians "Conduct! Every Move Counts" documents the interplay between conductor and orchestra with unique authenticity.
A film with Alondra de la Parra (Mexico / USA), James Lowe (England), Aziz Shokahkimov (Uzbekistan), Shizuo Z Kuwahara (Japan / USA) and Andreas Hotz (Germany)
