Storyline
Accordions Rising Is a documentary feature film about the resurgence of interest in accordion music over the last 30-40 years. Although many continue to see the accordion as the stodgy instrument of a bygone era - and accordion jokes abound - this film sets the record straight. It is the story of the variety, diversity and extraordinary virtuosity of the instrument and the music that it can make. Touching on its history but focusing on the present, the film offers entertaining and conversational style interviews, anecdotal commentary and both formal and informal music performance examples from celebrated accordionists, composers and bands performing in America today.

Roberta Cantow, in Accordions Rising, does for accordions what Herman Melville did for whales. In Moby Dick, Melville tells us why whales are supreme amongst all creatures. Likewise, Cantow deftly, beautifully, and compellingly proves that accordions are supreme among all musical instruments. Accordions Rising is fascinating, superbly crafted, erudite, and highly entertaining. The culture of accordions is vast. Although Accordions Rising is a perfect introduction to that unique culture, this reviewer hope that Cantow will give us at least one sequel. Even without sequels, Accordions Rising gives the curious viewer the keys to further exploration.
