Götz Schauder

The father fought against the dictatorship in East Germany using his typewriter. His son took active measures. Two forms of resistance and an abyss of silence. Götz Schauder uses video messages to build a bridge between the two men. A painful struggle for the truth begins.

'At the end of the day, it remains a secret why some can conduct and others can’t', Sir Georg Solti once said. CONDUCT! explores this secret. The struggle of five young artists for success at the International Conductors Competition in Frankfurt provides real-life drama that tests not only musical abilities but, above all, characters. CONDUCT! explores the secret of conducting with a unique intensity that culminates in a great showdown at Frankfurt’s Opera.
