105 - Open End - Michael Haefliger, Festival Maker

What drives the artistic director of a major music festival?
We look behind the scenes of Michael Haefliger’s final summer at the Lucerne Festival. A violonist himself, he shaped the festival for 26 years as Artistic Director, continuing a legacy marked by Claudio Abbado and Pierre Boulez. The film reveals the closeness between Haefliger, his team and the artists — a rare form of communication that is an art in itself: creating the space and conditions for artists to give their best.
