Siegen-Wittgenstein von oben. Philharmonisch. Welturaufführung

In the organizer's words:

Siegen-Wittgenstein from the air. Fascinating and breathtaking! Unusual and simply beautiful. Over a period of four years, Alexander Fischbach and his film team roamed Siegen-Wittgenstein to explore a region that is truly diverse.

When Apollo director Markus Steinwender saw the film at the premiere, he was overwhelmed by the images. And he had the idea that specially composed orchestral music, played live by the Philharmonie Südwestfalen, would turn the work into a true sensory experience. And so Alexander Fischbach was commissioned to edit an extended version and Alexander Reuber to compose film music especially for it. The Philharmonie Südwestfalen under the direction of conductor Leonard Evers will then play live to the film, which will be shown on the large Apollo stage in cinema quality.

The central theme of the film is a sightseeing flight in the "Emmi" biplane. On board is the Siegerland-born actor Markus Hering. The route leads from Siegerland Airport first to Wittgenstein, with Bad Berleburg as the first stop, and then back over the northern Siegerland to Burbach.
