12-12-12 ▪ The Concert for Sandy Relief

The Concert for Sandy Relief is a documentary that documents a live broadcast of a giant charity concert in 2012 in response to a New York hurricane. The film invites the audience to go on a visual and sensory journey through the scenes; each performance is an independent story within itself. Although it is not a central point, it gives the audience a sense of being in a common universe where different cultures come together. The sound quality, vitality and production value are high, but sometimes it can be difficult to get the audience's attention when the flow of images changes quickly. Short cuts and changing camera angles slowly include the audience into the entire stage. Talks and short interviews highlight motivation and social solidarity behind the stage. As a result, the film presents the power of music as a global language with a visual feast. Impressive stage arrangements, real-time energy and smooth transitions affect the audience emotionally.
