Episode 16

Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers

We encourage you to watch A Concerto is a Conversation before viewing this Q&A.

Episode 16 of the Original Thinkers Presents series featuring filmmaker Ben Proudfoot and concert pianist Kris Bowers in discussion with David Holbrooke about their short film, A Concerto is a Conversation.

Understanding history is at the heart of the memorable short documentary, A Concerto is a Conversation, which recently premiered at Sundance and is short-listed for the Academy Awards. It features a conversation between Kris Bowers, a composer whose work includes scoring Green Book and more recently, Bridgerton, and his grandfather who escaped the harsh racial climate of Florida’s Panhandle for Los Angeles. It’s beautifully directed and captures so much depth and thoughtfulness in just 13 minutes.

Listen to conversation centering around the theme ‘the importance of knowing from where you came.’
