Synopsis:

A European musician and composer sets out to capture the musical diversity of Istanbul. A lover of experimenting with sound, Alexander Hacke (of the German avant-garde band Einstürzende Neubauten) roams the streets of Istanbul with his mobile recording studio and "magic mike" to assemble an inspired portrait of Turkish music. His voyage leads to the discovery of a broad spectrum ranging from modern electronic, rock and hip-hop to classical "Arabesque." In his follow-up to the critically acclaimed film 'Head-On,' director Fatih Akin introduces an international audience to the diversity and uniqueness of the historic and recent expressions of musical creativity in the heart of Istanbul. 'Crossing the Bridge' was a selection in the Cannes Film Festival, 2005.
