Mahler in Cinemascope: A cinematic concert experience with Teodor Currentzis

On October 23, 2026, the filmforum Duisburg will screen the music documentary Junkies of Dreaming - Mahler 3 Currentzis. The 90-minute film follows conductor and composer Teodor Currentzis as he works with the festival orchestra Utopia, which he founded, on Gustav Mahler's 3rd Symphony.

Between Dream, Rehearsal, and Grand Orchestral Sound World

Director Jan Schmidt-Garre observes Currentzis on the black couch, listening intently, and in the rehearsal room of the Funkhaus Berlin. From quiet introspection arises a precise stage performance: clear directives, intense synchronization, and the detailed orchestration of one of the most significant works of late-Romanticism.

Gustav Mahler as a Musical Boundary Experience

Mahler's 3rd Symphony premiered in 1902 in Krefeld and is today among the composer's most performed works. The film makes visible how an overwhelming sound emerges from score, conducting, and ensemble work. The Cinemascope images provide space for the monumental music and connect technical precision with an almost trance-like atmosphere.

Film Art for Music Lovers

Junkies of Dreaming - Mahler 3 Currentzis not only focuses on the finished performance but also on the artistic process behind it. Concert preparation, rehearsal work, and the search for the inner core of the music become a sensual journey through Mahler's sound language. The film was made in 2026 in Germany and is rated for ages 0 and up.
