Crossing Rachmaninoff with Simon Raby and Rebecca Tansley

How do you shoot a concert in Italy on a documentary budget, and yet win four stars from the NZ Herald and a standing ovation at the Auckland Film Festival? 

At this informative event we will find out how director Rebecca Tansley and veteran director of photography Simon Raby teamed up and captured the emotion and tension in the film. The Herald wasn't just being kind when they wrote that the film conveyed with elegance and force the loneliness of the long-distance pianist and the ecstasy of the finale. 

It was task that called on all of Rebecca's communication skills and Simon's deep knowledge of cinematography technique.

Join us to watch key clips from the film and explore with Rebecca and Simon the approach they took to each other and to shooting a film that has delighted audiences in New Zealand and internationally.
