Raphael – A Mortal God

,

The painter Raffaello Santi dies on Good Friday in 1520, aged 37. The city of Rome is shocked. It is the beginning of the myth of Raphael that continues to glorify the painter to this day. What lies behind this myth? We follow the path of the genius artist, starting with his most famous painting: the “Sistine Madonna”.

Maria Willer

is music journalist and was formerly, before founding the “3B-Produktion GmbH”, editor and presenter at the radio broadcaster “Klassik Radio” since 2003. Apart from her journalistic activities she has founded the “Musikkindergarten Hamburg”. Before working for the radio she was trainee as print journalist. In this way Maria Willer’s train of medial thinking spreads from the reader to the listener as well as to a film audience. Important for her is that stories reach out to human beings – whichever media is used.

Bernhard von Hülsen

Hat vor Gründung der „3B-Produktion GmbH“ ein knappes Jahrzehnt für die „AVE Gesellschaft für Fernsehproduktion“ Magazine, Talks, Dokumentationen, Reportagen und zunehmend junge Formate produziert. Vor seiner Produzentenlaufbahn promovierte er als Kollegiat der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft zu deutsch-französischem Kulturtransfer und volontierte am Deutschen Historischen Museum. Er ist stark in der Musikszene verankert und hat hier über Jahre Akzente gesetzt.
