Film portrait: Maria Faust

An Unfiltered Portrait   

Watch the documentary Machina Faust in Øst For Paradis during Aarhus Jazz Festival.

Experience an unfiltered portrait of Estonian saxophonist, composer, and feminist Maria Faust, who can outmatch her male colleagues in both musicality and boldness.  

 

About the movie    

You'll be drinking wine, smoking with food in your mouth, and talking about dicks and pussies when you're in the company of saxophonist and improvising jazz composer Maria Faust. 

The Estonian-born powerhouse is a machine in terms of her tireless creative output. In other words, she is portrayed as a flesh-and-blood human being who lays everything bare for the camera and is completely uninterested in painting a glossy picture of either her musical career or her loving – but often complicated – relationship with husband and musician Ned Ferm.   

However, the constant tornado that is her life also creates art with a capital A. Over three years, we follow the creation of three works that all relate to women's struggles and experience the accompanying hail of accolades from the industry she loves and hates. However, both the COVID-19 crisis and major crossroads lurk on the horizon.

The screening is a collaboration between Øst for Paradis and Aarhus Jazz Festival.
