Their glorious sounds are heard and “seen” in magnificent churches,<br /> chapels, concert halls and private homes. Also included is rare filming of a tiny instrument built about 1680 being played in a private office in London, performed especially for the film.<br /> <br /> Additional screenings awards and comments from:<br /> Rochester Film Festival<br /> 3rd place Zoie Film Festival<br /> Southside (Bethlehem Pa) Film Festival<br /> New Film Makers Festival NYC<br /> <br /> ......it is one of the most amazing films I have ever seen on<br /> pipe organ building.......<br /> <br /> ...The overall effect is one of respect for craft and artistry .......<br /> <br /> ...not only documents the process of organmaking, but also the passion of the organmakers.....<br /> <br /> ....camerawork is wonderful....<br /> <br /> ....."art to convey art by other artists".......a fine and outstanding work!<br /> <br /> From molten metal to music.....the artists behind the pipes<br /> <br /> For 27 minutes, one is taken on this roller-coaster ride, footage is a joy in itself.
