We are back from Nyon. Once again «visions du réel» was a great festival and offered a lot of good documentaries to explore. The Jury of the «Cinéma Suisse» Section decided to give a special mention to WINTERSONG. It was a great honour to show our film at «visions du réel» and to receive this award. Thank you.

Special mention: With large sensitivity the young directors Benny Jaberg and Pascal Hofmann introduce us to the creative universe of Chris Hooson, singer and songwriter of the English Band Dakota Suite. The way in which they emphasize the music and poetry allows the audience a real insight into the creative process of an anguished but extremely inspired author. On the evidence of this school film, we can forecast a promising future.

WINTERSONG will be premiered at this year’s «visions du réel» international film festival Nyon. The film will be shown in the «regard neuf» competition. We will announce detailed screening dates as soon as they are published.

There is also news about a possible DVD release. Most likely, WINTERSONG will be added to the upcoming record by DAKOTA SUITE as a free bonus. In the upcoming weeks we will be working on that DVD. You can expect the main movie plus some selected extras (more music, interviews, deleted scenes, pictures). The release of the next DAKOTA SUITE record, including the WINTERSONG DVD, will probably be in late summer or fall this year.
