More than ten years before "Dancer in the Dark," Icelandic singer Björk made her acting debut in the gothic arthouse film "The Juniper Tree" by the late American director Nietzsche Keene (1952-2004). This 1990 arthouse gem, based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "The Juniper Tree," will now be shown as part of the "Heroines of Sound" series, not only in a restored version but also with a new soundtrack. This soundtrack was composed by Berlin-based Japanese pianist Midori Hirano, who will perform it live on the day of the German premiere. Prior to the screening, Belgian film scholar Wouter Vanhaelemeesch will give an introductory talk on the film.
