Brahms at The Red Hedgehog: The Klezmer Project

The Quarry Theatre at St. Luke’s

Winner of best First Feature at the 2023 Berlin International Film Festival. A Jewish camera operator invents a film project about klezmer music to pursue a love interest. The couple journey through Eastern Europe, seeking melodies and romance.

Proudly presented by Bedford Music Club, this inventive delight from filmmakers and real-life romantic partners Leandro Koch and Paloma Schachmann, is the unconventional music film/road movie, The Klezmer Project, eludes normal classification, providing a pleasing experience beginning to end. Beginning as a fictionalized version of its directors’ own relationship, the film follows Buenos Aires wedding documentarian Leandro as he meets klezmer band clarinetist Paloma while on a job. The two decide to collaborate on a documentary about the Ashkenazi genre of instrumental music they both love. Soon, the film we’re watching begins to incorporate more elements, including a Yiddish-language supernatural tale and a metacinematic road journey. The grandchildren of Jewish immigrants who fled Europe during World War II, the filmmakers have made a brilliant, multi-layered film.
