End 1998, Vanessa-Mae made a so-called silent movie called 'The Violin Fantasy.' It was shown in movie theatres in the UK an Germany as supporting program for the Diney movie Mulan. It was also commercially availble as part of a vcd that was sold togehter with the 'Original Four Seasosn' (CA3).

The silent movie shows Vanessa-Mae practising in a concert hall for a Fouer Seasons concert. After all the concert members went of stage, Vanessa-Mae see a misterious man sitting on a back seat in the hall. The man subdues with his eyes her into a dance. Suddenly, Vanessa-Mae, wearing her gorgeous silvery blue cocnert dress, is dancing with this man.

After the dance is over, Vanessa-Mae wakes up in her dressing room, wearing her concert dress. She is wondering what had happened to her, when she suddenly hears the bell sound as indication that she has to appear on stage in about one minute. She walks to the mirror to quickly check her hair and make-up and then hurries to the hall. Next, she enters the hall accompanied by Vasko Vassilev; she bows to the audience and starts to play a movement of the Four Seasons.

The movie is called a silent movie because there is no speech, only music to accompany the images.

A few fans were invited to be present at the recording of the movie to act as audience during the concert scenes. Here is a link to that story:

I ordered it two yearsd ago via:

http://www.cdimportplus.com/

I have no idea whether they still have this vcd.

Also, check regularly www.ebay.com for this vcd. Moreover, i have seen illegal DVD's that had this Silent Movie and the Making of The Siemens AD documentary. This documentary was on the official vcd together with the silent movie, the Devils Trill video and the Reflection video.
