Marie Börsch Film & Music

From 2002 to 2005, my partner, French producer Chris Ferrantini, and I undertook a singular music project. In a coastal village called Arambol in the province of Goa, a large community of musicians in search of hedonism and spirituality gathered for the winter. We set up a studio to capture the atmosphere of this musical powerhouse. Over a period of three years, we put together a collective work (double CD) merging psychedelic, pop, trans, break beat and acoustic ballad influences. The CD is accompanied by a documentary film I made on the project.

The documentary Filming in the Land of the Bears is the story of a cinematographic, technological and human challenge. Throughout 2012, the Land of the Bears 3D film crew (directed by Guillaume Vincent), lived in communion with nature, far from civilisation, in one of the most beautiful regions in the world: Kamchatka. They pulled off a huge first: filming in 3D some of the wildest animals in the world – bears. The documentary Filming in the Land of the Bears tells the story of the film crew’s adventures deep in bear country.

Synopsis:

1945 – As the Allies advanced, they were astounded to find children among the many German prisoners of war.
Some 10,000 of these child soldiers were taken prisoner by the American army and sent to Attichy Camp in
Oise, France, where they were separated from the adults in order to be re-educated in a special section called the
“Baby Cages”.

They were regarded and treated as victims of the Nazi regime. A school was set up in the Baby Cages with
lessons taught by theologians and teachers hand-picked from among the German POWs to steer the boys toward
a spirit of tolerance and democracy.

Years later, Winfried Börsch, our central protagonist, told his daughter, the director of this film, the story of the
“Baby Cages” where he was sent in the spring of 1945.

Now 92 years old, Winfried Börsch is one of the last surviving witnesses of this long-lost historical episode. He tells us his story which, for him, was a first step on the road to freedom.
