JUST LIKE THE MOVIES is a 20 -minute video with music by Paolo Marzocchi .

In more than 600 Hollywood movies (produced before 2001) Michal Kosakowski looks for images of what he just saw and finds, in 52 films, the entire sequence of events that happened on that day in September 2001.

Almost all of us saw the events of September 11, 2001 on television. We knew these images from our cinematic experiences and thus found it almost impossible to recognise them as events that actually occurred, and even more difficult to accept them as such in the moment we witnessed them. It was at this early point in time that Michal Kosakowski stepped in: minutes after the event he was sketching out a first draft for his project.

Intimately involved in the project, Paolo Marzocchi is a composer and musician. His perception of the 9/11 events led him a century into the past, right to the early days of cinema. For him it is the style of the silent picture era that sets the tone for Just Like The Movies.

Live performance by Paolo Marzocchi on the piano.
