Winner of the Audience Award at the 2025 Newport Beach Film Festival, director Ido Fluk’s new film Köln 75 is coming to The Frida Cinema!
The story tells the tale of the best-selling jazz records of all time, Keith Jarrett’s 1975 Köln Concert, how it almost didn’t happen, and how one formidable German teenager, Vera Brandes, breaks every boundary to set the conditions for the creation of a masterpiece. Vera, still in high school when she started producing and promoting music concerts in Cologne, puts everything on the line to put on this show. But Vera believes in the power of music, and she’s never seen anyone play like Keith Jarrett before.
Joining us for introduction before the film will be Ivan Williams, who served as an Co-Executive Producer on Köln 75! Don’t miss your chance to see this award-winning crowdpleaser on the big screen!
