Nine Short Films About the Song
"Lied Me!" is a short film project by the Heidelberger Frühling Liedzentrum, created in 2020/21 during the pandemic. In nine short films, eleven young singers and pianists express personal questions and experiences of their generation—on topics such as globalization, uprooting, fears, self-doubt, diversity, and sexuality.
Topics and Content
The project combines the classical art song tradition with modern narrative approaches in the digital space to reach new audiences. Before filming began, young art song artists reflected together with Prof. Holger Noltze (TU Dortmund) on aesthetic experience in the digital realm. During the subsequent development of the films’ content and musical concepts, the singers and pianists set their own thematic priorities and were supported in this co-creative process by Andrea Thilo, coach and producer, and Thomas Grube, director and producer. These young talents, who were just starting their careers when the films were made, courageously shared their very personal perspectives.
Participating Artists
The participants were scholarship recipients and alumni of the Heidelberger Frühling Liedakademie: Ketevan Chuntishvili (soprano, Georgia), Fanny Soyer (soprano, France), Ema Nikolosvka (mezzo-soprano, Canada/Macedonia), Lars Conrad (baritone, Germany), Justine Eckhaut (piano, France), Daniel Gerzenberg (piano, Germany), Theresa Pilsl (soprano, Germany), Jerica Steklasa (soprano, Slovenia), Irena Weber (mezzo-soprano, Serbia/Hungary), Jeeyoung Lim (bass-baritone, South Korea), Kunal Lahiry (piano, USA).
Production
In collaboration with Boomtown Media (producers of the film “Rhythm is it!”), Uwe Dierks, Thomas Grube, Andrea Thilo, and Christopher Warmuth were responsible for the production. Thomas Grube directed and edited the film.
Awards
The short film series was nominated for the Opus Klassik award in the “Music Video” category in 2022.
