Arvo Pärt │Robert Wilson – The Lost Paradise
3. 10. 2025, 19:00
a documentary film by Günter Atteln
English friendly
An event celebrating Arvo Pärt’s 90th birthday
“He is the most performed contemporary composer in the world. Nevertheless, he also rarely ventures out in public, keeps quiet about his music, feels at home in the forests of Estonia and generates therewith – perhaps involuntarily – the impression of a recluse, which is attributed to him again and again: Arvo Pärt.
“The Lost Paradise” is the first international documentary about Arvo Pärt. It is quite an astonishment that such a shy artist has given his consent to be accompanied by a camera for an entire year: In his native Estonia, travelling to Germany, Italy, and Japan, where Pärt received the Praemium Imperiale, the world’s most prestigious award in the field of music, in October 2014.
The film is framed by the identically named stage production “Adam’s Passion,” featuring three key works by Arvo Pärt, which American director Robert Wilson brought to the stage in May 2015 in a former submarine factory, the “Noblessner Foundry” in Tallinn.“

a documentary film by Sergey Bukovsky

“If you were to ask me to name a contemporary composer, the first name that I would voice is the name Silvestrov. Valentyn is unconditionally the most interesting contemporary composer, even if the majority are given to understand this much later…”. Arvo Pärt.
A documentary film dedicated to the prominent Ukrainian composer Valentyn Silvestrov. It is an observation, a confession and, most of all, a story of great talent set against the backdrop of uncertain times. IMDB
