MUSIC FOR A BLUE TRAIN

Directed by: Mila Aung-Thwin

Duration: 48 min

[Quote]

Synopsis: Montreal’s subway system – The Metro – has 59 designated spots for musicians to perform for the public. There are a few rules (no playing over 80 decibels, no playing the same song over and over), but in general, performance in the Metro is a scrappy free-for-all. Musicians line up all night for the best spots and fine-tune their performances for the odd acoustics of this subterranean symphony. This documentary is about the beauty and hardship of playing music for commuter traffic.
