Bill Morrison & David Harrington – Beyond Zero: 1914-1918 (2014)
2011-2020Bill MorrisonBill Morrison and David HarringtonDocumentaryExperimentalUSAIntro from CPH : DOX homepage

A landmark year, which is here marked in a cinematic collaboration between the renowned American filmmaker Bill Morrison and the string quartet Kronos Quartet, who have recorded the original score by the Serbian composer Aleksandra Vrebalov.
