Spring is here. Joyfully the birds celebrate her return With cheerful song. ANTONIO VIVALDI The Four Seasons 1725
 

Filmed in four continents, Vast Productions’ feature length documentary film 4 charts an extraordinary journey through the four seasons, from the intensely beautiful cherry blossoms of Spring in Japan, through a fierce Australian Summer, from the captivating energy of Autumn in New York, into the bitter cold and human warmth of a Finnish Winter.

Four brilliant and engaging violinists are our guides, weaving a captivating journey through their words and inspired performances of Vivaldi’s timeless masterpiece, The Four Seasons, which drives the film forward.

4 celebrates how the seasons shape who we are, the importance of homeland and the eternal power of music. In its poignant and subtle way, the film reminds us of what we may lose should the world around us change too greatly.

Following sell-out seasons at the Sydney Film Festival, 4 was released in Australia to critical acclaim in August 2007 and is enjoying strong and receptive audiences around the country.

4 now continues its journey out into the world.
