Busker DIRECTOR: Jazbo von Magius Gross
WORLD PREMIERE A musical family portrait is what you get in young debut director Jazbo Gross’s ‘Busker’. Age and musical genres are secondary for the musicians of the film, who live off (and for) playing on Europe’s streets and boulevards. The music is a lifestyle that has been handed down to them over generations. They are performers in spirit, and the rolling stone cliché for once fits their nomadic lifestyle, from Paris and Nice via Milan and Copenhagen to Istanbul. It is all about freedom, and you can hear that from the first to the last verse. ‘Busker’ has the feel of a beat novel and the looks of a genuinely independent documentary, alternating between tableaux style interviews and long takes of the live performances in the streets.
