Not Mozart: WAM! Limited(1991)

Not Mozart: WAM! Limited is a short film that marks the 200th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's death through an unconventional collaboration. Composer Misha Mengelberg teams with director Anthony Garner to create a commissioned work that reimagines Mozart's legacy. Rather than a straightforward tribute, the film blends Mengelberg's distinctive compositional voice with Garner's directorial vision, offering a fresh perspective on one of classical music's most celebrated figures. The project balances reverence for Mozart's influence with contemporary artistic interpretation, exploring what his music means beyond the centuries-old canon. Mengelberg's avant-garde approach to composition brings an experimental edge to the commemoration, creating something that honors the composer while questioning traditional ways we remember musical history.
