Förintade toner (2026)

This powerful music documentary chronicles the Nazi campaign to confiscate and silence Jewish musical culture throughout the 1930s and 1940s. Anchored by conductor Sofia Winiarski, the film traces her ambitious push to premiere *Stolen Music* (*Stulen musik*) at Stockholm’s Folkoperan. By bringing back to life the suppressed compositions of Jewish artists that were deliberately scrubbed from cultural memory, the production seeks to reclaim a deliberately fractured legacy. Driven to locate these missing works, Sofia heads to Warsaw, combing through dense archival collections for scattered sheet music and unrecorded lyrical passages. A project initially sparked by career ambitions gradually deepens into a deeply intimate exploration, merging artistic restoration with heartfelt self-discovery.
