Irene Langemann’s documentary “Liverpool – Beat City” (60 min), which Lichtfilm produced in collaboration with ARTE was finished in September 2008.
As the title implies the main topic of the film is Liverpool, the 2008 European Capital of Culture, who is celebrating its cultural heritage and its modern artistic diversity. The metropolis has indeed spawned numerous influential artists that have gone on to international fame in the spheres
of literature, architecture, film and music. And, when it comes to Pop Music, the most famous sons of the city are perhaps also the most influential: The Beatles.
The documentary partakes in a journey of discovery to the lively and refreshing city of Liverpool with the most popular Beatles cover band – The Mersey Beatles.
