12 Notes Down

Full Frame Jury Award for Best Short 2009

NEW DOCS

How do you decide when it’s time to let go? For young Jorgis, the star voice of the Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir, the moment is upon him. With just a few weeks to go before an important concert, his voice has suddenly begun to break, forcing the fourteen-year-old into a state of transition he is not prepared for. He must choose between damaging his vocal cords trying to hit the high notes or dashing his hopes by walking away. This tender portrayal of a universal, yet intensely personal, rite of passage resonates well beyond its twenty-six minutes.  ST
