Order From Chaos (2009); a documentary-drama directed by Ana Isabel Ordonez, describing the journey of Holocaust Survivor Albert Ketzenger, as he faces his painful past. We follow him as he goes back through the memories of the chaos of World War II with imprisonment, love and loss, and as he seeks some kind of resolution. Order From Chaos establishes a dialogue between documentary and narrative, by joining interview footage with Holocaust survivors and fictionalized dramatic scenes.

In this dialogue a third voice is heard. For the filmmaker to bring the story fully to life she has collaborated with Herb Robertson, acclaimed composer and trumpeter.  Mr. Robertson has composed a beautiful score, rich and lyrical, interacting with the images and words, creating new relationships between different forms of expression and new ways of relating to 'the film' as a work of art. Film becomes recontextualized and takes on new meanings when it is accompanied by a live performance. Arts For Art supports this project and is proud to present the World premiere screening.

Live music performed by:

·       Herb Robertson - trumpets

·       Angelica Sanchez - piano

·       Marty Ehrlich - reeds

·       Ratzo Harris - bass
