In the late 18th century, Joseph Haydn wrote his masterpiece “The Seven Last Words of Our Saviour on the Cross”. Now, filmmaker Kaveh Nabatian, musician and composer in his own right, has teamed up with six fellow filmmakers from different cultural and religious backgrounds to produce a multidisciplinary film; With their own cinematic approach, each director responded to one of Christ’s “Last Words” and the respective Haydn sonata. Their films vary significantly both in genre and in style, yet all of them have turned out to be deeply intimate, personal meditations about the big questions of human existence; Nabatian’s collaborative film is an audiovisual mystery play.
