The musicians and other participants in this film make up a colorful and thoughtful cast of characters who drive the story by tracing their uniquely personal attractions to the accordion and sharing their surprisingly divergent paths. They come from immigrant roots, Creole or Roma beginnings, for example, to a recognition of the very special niche of this so-called \u201clow art\u201d form. It provides inspirations in jazz, classical, new music, pop, fusion forms, operatic styles, and beyond. The film provides a tapestry of fascinating individuals, their deep passions, and above of all else, their profound dedication to the instrument. Though a rebellious lot, these music makers have an audience in some of the hippest hideaways and most sought-after mainstream venues. The film makes clear that the \u201caccordion world\u201d is actually a curious continuum that includes everything from the traditional to the wacky and kitsch to sophisticated, serious, meditative, and postmodern. As Dr. William Schimmel points out, \u201cthe accordion is the icon of the 21st century.\u201d Performing in the film are more than two dozen musicians, including Bruce Sunpie Barnes, Lou Fanucchi, Fred Ferino, Rachelle Garniez, Kepa Junkera, Guy Klucevisek, Pauline Oliveros, Stephen Pellegrino, Frank Petrilli, Nicole Renaud, William Schimmel, Peter Stan, and Rachel Swaner. \n Film by:Roberta Cantow \n Produced by:Roberta Cantow \n Cinematographer:Roberta Cantow with Barbara Kaminsky, Fred Pflantzer, and Lawrence Krauser \n Editor:Roberta Cantow Language - English","videoId":6312239860112,"browse_view":"contentTypeBrowsePageIndexView","subscription":"bvl_musicsch","title":"Accordions Rising","xml_source":"bvl_musicsch_video-vra.xml","browse_search":"NM-Accord","videoPoster":"https://cf-images.eu-west-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/4171818645001/38dce0c3-348c-445c-ae6a-8260e55a7b42/d472b358-3b18-4099-80cc-e742d2849520/1280x720/match/image.jpg","facets":"documentaryFilm , Documentary film , music , Music , genresOfMusic , Genres of music , identity , Identity , made_20102019 , 2010\u20132019 , made_2000Present , 2000\u2013present , english , English , northAmerica , North America , unitedStates , United States , origin_northAmerica , North America , origin_unitedStates , United States , video , Video , filmAndCinema , Film and Cinema ,","contenttypeorder":3,"date_of_publication":2015,"publisher":"Indie Rights Inc (earlier Nelson Medison)","productname":"bvl_all","id_search":"NM-Accord","facet":["documentaryFilm","english","filmAndCinema","genresOfMusic","identity","made_2000Present","made_20102019","music","northAmerica","origin_northAmerica","origin_unitedStates","unitedStates","video"],"contentType":"video","authors":"Roberta Cantow~Roberta Cantow~Indie Rights Inc (earlier Nelson Medison)"}
