Whistle

84 Minutes

English, Spanish, Japanese

Director: Christopher Nelius


Not everyone in the world can whistle.


Not many people in the world can whistle, even fewer can whistle Mozart’s “Queen of the Night” aria. The top whistlers in the world travel from all over the world to compete in the prestigious Masters of Musical Whistling competition in L.A.

At the heart of this riot of a documentary is organiser extraordinaire and competition founder Carole Anne Kaufman. A passionate whistler, she runs a tight but gentle ship and offers a heartfelt behind the scenes look into neverending drama of event production.

Part musical, part comedy, and with the stakes of a sports movie, Whistle sets the scene for a showdown: will nerves take over? Or is it as simple as ‘put your lips together and blow’?  (ISRA AL KASSI)
