Beethoven Reloaded
A film by Andy Sommer

Beethoven is the epitome of German musical culture. But what lies behind the name “Ludwig van,” which has long since become an international brand?

The film "Beethoven reloaded" takes a fresh look at the eminent composer from a decidedly contemporary perspective vis-à-vis the backdrop of his biography and work. It seeks to answer the question of why this artist has advanced to become a global icon and what relevance and expressiveness his work still has today. Using modern cinematic techniques, the essential biographical facts form the leitmotif of a multi-faceted image of Beethoven in the here and now.
