| Description |
(Alex Rotaru, 2009, USA, DigiBeta, 91 min)
They Came To Play is a documentary about the International Amateur Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs, hosted by the Van Cliburn Foundation. With humor and drama, it portrays several multi-talented amateur pianists as they strive to balance their work, home and musical lives. Many of them have overcome extraordinary challenges like drug addiction, AIDS, heartbreak or political asylum, and they all share an overwhelming need to express themselves, musically and otherwise. Their intense preparation comes to a climax during the weeklong competition, when they perform in front of a professional jury and discerning audience in three highly competitive elimination rounds.
