just another Tuesday is an eight-minute art film without language—and yet filled with words and emotions. The title refers to an American expression meaning something like “oh, another day…”

Black musicians in the classical music scene are underrepresented in orchestras worldwide, and the music of Black composers receives little attention. Throughout their education and careers, they are repeatedly confronted with traumatising discrimination. They work hard to pursue their dreams and hopes—and yet often fail due to rejection and prejudice.

The film addresses this issue and shows that the love of classical music, the ability to dream and hope, and artistic excellence are not dependent on skin colour or origin. The protagonist shares not only her own experiences but also those of her colleagues. Discriminatory remarks that she and others have heard—whether from orchestras or audience members—are interwoven into the film. The music was composed by American composer Anthony R. Green. The film advocates for a future without discrimination—and for true diversity.
