Bobby Sommer

Ten years after the dissolution of her legendary band Wattmarck, engineer and musician Karin Steckheim brings the group together for one last concert to present their newest instrument: a mysterious synthesizer that produces a mysterious sound.

A security guard working at an art museum in Vienna crosses paths with a Canadian woman in town to visit her ailing cousin.

This surreal art-movie/live-performance hybrid is comprised of New York filmmaker Jem Cohen's original 16mm and DV movie footage combined with concert clips of Vic Chesnutt and members of Silver Mt. Zion, among others.

Bobby drives back and forth between Vienna and Salzburg, giving lifts to strangers on the way, sharing conversations that drift from the mundane to the deeply personal. In this tender portrait of today’s Europe, anonymity and warmth still go hand in hand.
