ABOUT THE FILM | TESTIMONIALS | SCREENINGS | THE FILMMAKER | THE ORCHESTRA | MUSIC | REVIEWS | LINKS | ABOUT THE FILMAn extraordinary new documentary, MUSIC FROM THE INSIDE OUT is the result of a unique five-year collaboration between Oscar�-nominated filmmaker Daniel Anker and the 105 musicians of the Philadelphia Orchestra. In an exhilarating 90-minute journey, the film explores the intersection of Art and Life through the stories, passions and artistry of some of the finest musicians in the world. Groundbreaking in style and approach, the main character of the film is "music" itself. Incorporating a blend of well-loved musical works including classical, jazz, bluegrass, salsa, and world music, the film features one of the most eclectic soundtracks of any recent documentary. Named one of the best documentaries of 2004 by the International Documentary Association, MUSIC FROM THE INSIDE OUT has been screened around the world at film festivals, including the Sydney Film Festival, the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, the American Film Institute's AFI-Silverdocs Documentary Film Festival, the Valladolid International Film Festival, and the Skip-City Festival in Tokyo. It began its theatrical release in 2005, with successful runs in the Philadelphia area (four months), New York City (two months), and San Francisco. It opened more widely in early 2006, with distribution by Emerging Pictures.
