To celebrate the 12th Hastings International Piano Concert Competition which started on Thursday February 25, Kino-Teatr are showing four of the most outstanding films about remarkable pianists, both real and fictional.

The programme started on Thursday with Shine, a 1996 drama based on the life of Australian pianist David Helfgott who suffered a mental breakdown but overcame his demons and achieved great success.

Next, this afternoon, Friday, at 3pm is Grand Piano, a chilling thriller made in 2013 starring Elijah Wood as a concert pianist who returns to the stage, having suffered from stage fright, to find a threatening note written on the score.
