Nederlands
Diep in de vallei van San Fernando, te midden van rijen vervallen pakhuizen, stond rock 'n roll's best bewaarde geheim: Sound City. Terwijl de legende groeide, kwamen baanbrekende bands en artiesten als Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Rick Springfield, Tom Petty, Metallica en Nirvana hier om hun muzikale magie op tape vast te leggen. Middels interviews en optredens vertelt men niet alleen het verhaal van dit heiligdom, maar verzamelt regisseur en muzikant Grohl tevens enkele van de grootste muzikanten om te werken aan een nieuw album.

Italiano
Documentario dedicato al leggendario studio di registrazione Sound City che si trova a Van Nuys, in California e che negli anni ha ospitato artisti del calibro di Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Guns N' Roses, Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails e Metallica.

Français
Sound City est un documentaire musical sur les studios Sound City de Los Angeles réalisé par Dave Grohl et sorti en 2013.

Pусский
Документальный фильм Дейва Грола об истории лос-анджелесской студии Sound City. Идея снять фильм пришла Гролу в 2011-м, после того, как в Ван Нойсе, штат Калифорния, закрылась студия Sound City. Он купил на распродаже оборудования студии пульт Neve, на котором записывались Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Guns N’ Roses, Rage Against the Machine и многие другие легендарные коллективы (культовый альбом Nevermind группы Nirvana — в их числе).

Deutsch
Im Mai 2011 schloss eines der wohl renommiertesten Tonstudios der Welt seine Pforten. Das Ende des Sound City-Studios in Los Angeles sorgte bei vielen Veteranen des Biz für gefüllte Tränensäcke. Doch zum Glück gibt es ja einen nimmermüden Tausendsassa namens Dave Grohl, der sich kurz vor Toresschluss noch schnell die legendäre Neve 8028-Studiokonsole unter den Arm klemmte und somit einen essentiellen Sound-Eckpfeiler des ruhmreichen Etablissements in die Neuzeit rettete.

שיר הלל ואלגיה נוסטלגית לאולפני "סאונד סיטי" שבעמק סן פרננדו שבקליפורניה, אותו יצר המתופף לשעבר של נירוואנה והסולן של ה-Foo Fighters, דייויד גרוהל. חלקו הראשון של הסרט מביא מההיסטוריה המפוארת של האולפן האנלוגי (אלבומים כמו Fleetwood Mac ב-1975 ו-Nevermind של נירוואנה ב-1991). חלקו השני מתאר את קריסתו האיטית לנוכח חדירת הטכנולוגיה הדיגיטאלית, ובחלקו השלישי לוקח גרוהל את הקונסולה האנלוגית המהוללת Neve 8087 אליו הביתה, ועושה מוזיקה כמו פעם.

Red Star Line (TV documentary) release date, synopsis, reviews
Red Star Line (TV documentary)Red Star Line

Using the story of the Red Star Line as a narrative vessel, this three-part documentary by Daniël Cattier and Fabio Wuytack explains why European emigrants left their homes behind for an uncertain future. It details their trips to Antwerp, their travel across the ocean, and their adjustments to their new lives in America. Theirs are intimate yet epic journeys in which past and present merge in the forging of new identities. The film, which is shot on location in Antwerp, New York, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia and Ukraine, uses ‘emotional archaeology’ to weave a richer narrative than could be conveyed through a string of facts and figures. And walking in the footsteps of Red Star Line passengers, surprising similarities are revealed to the experiences of modern immigrants.
