Magical night under the Doha Tribeca Film Festival sky

In the Doha Tribeca film festival – second anneal in 2010 , held a great event in the Katara Open Air Theatre, Nitin Sawhney, is one of the most versatile and sought after composers and producers alive today and has composed an original soundtrack to accompany the 1929 silent film, “A Throw of Dice” by acclaimed German Director Franz Osten. The soundtrack been performed by Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra along with Nitin Sawhney’s key musicians. This performance was magical.
In the begging I thought that silent films are boring BUT with the Orchestra and the Open Air Theatre was amazing and I really feel bad of those who miss it...
