Barbara Morgenstern at work: melodies are hummed, lyrics written and refined, funding applications drafted, rehearsals scheduled and band
\ndiscussions planned. Before Morgenstern\u2019s new album is released and performed on stage for the first time, filmmaker Sabine Herpich meticulously documents every step of the musician\u2019s creative process. She portrays art-making as a craft, prompting viewers to rethink the very nature of work. What does it mean to be a musician today? How can you avoid being discouraged by bureaucratic hurdles? The answers reverberate through this warm, vibrant and political film \u2013 in every note, every glance. Barbara Morgenstern remains agile and optimistic.
\nHer warmth infuses both her music and her incisive lyrics because it is an intrinsic part of who she is. Even as the world darkens, it\u2019s as if she chooses to look ahead \u2013 with unwavering conviction in her purpose. The film\u2019s title not only references one of Morgenstern\u2019s new songs but also symbolically links the filmmaker to her subject \u2013 after all, isn\u2019t the filmmaker, too, a worker? While biopics often tend towards excessive flattery or clich\u00e9s, this film\u2019s strength lies in its ability to foster a solidarity among female artists. It captures the artistic expression of its subjects with an intimacy that is as direct as it is affectionate. The songs endure, and so do the images.<\/p>\n
