Our documentary Beethoven’s Nine – Ode to Humanity, a co-production with ZDF/ARTE directed by Larry Weinstein, has been awarded Gold in the “Music” category at the New York Festivals 2025.
The film follows nine individuals whose lives are deeply connected to Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony – including deaf-born composer Gabriela Lena Frank, the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra led by Keri-Lynn Wilson, and comic artist Charles M. Schulz, who brought Beethoven to pop culture through his iconic “Peanuts” character.
We’re honored by this international recognition and deeply grateful to everyone who helped bring this project to life.
