How does sound tell a story? In the three-part film series ‘Around Sound’, three films are at the centre in which sound, rather than image, is the leading narrative. What if sound doesn’t serve the visual, but instead takes the lead in telling a cinematic story?
Optics are everything could be considered the motto of our contemporary culture. Whether something is real or sincere hardly seems to matter anymore, as long as the image is right. The regime of visual language is so dominant that our eyes seem to have become our primary senses. But in the battle for our attention through visual overstimulation, we forget an important source for storytelling: sound.
These screenings focus on providing an optimal sound experience, which is why they take place in Volver Studio near Ringbaan Noord. Balloons will be available for the audience who want to feel the film’s soundtrack. All three films will be briefly introduced by curator Anneroos Goosen and opened with a short sound film by Het Concreet. Afterwards, a tape piece by Het Concreet can be listened to in the control room of the sound studio. This edition we'll screen a short opening movie by Het Concreet X Krishna Sutedja & Vivi Pitriana.
