'Sounds & Visions'
Experimental Film Screening with Live Music
Held at La Peniche Cinema - Le Baruda
Curated by Beth Privitera, Valentin Neuroth
& Mihnea Vonica
Live, experimental music by Antoine Karacostas accompanied by an exceptional programme of short films.
The experimental event incorporates live jazz music and a selection of contemporary short films, with their original sound removed and replaced by a fresh improvised composition.
The event created a new experience of silent cinema, appealing to a younger audience, an amalgamation of contemporary and archive.
