Moving Silence

Within the framework
of the 8th X-Dream Festival
An evening dedicated to contemporary “silent” moving image and experimental sound
Following the great success
of Moving Silence in Cyprus for the past five
years at ARTos Foundation, Moving Silence takes place for the sixth consecutive year in collaboration
with the Goethe-Institut Cyprus and with the support of the Cultural Services
of the Ministry of Education and Culture and Instituto Cervantes Nicosia,
within the framework of the 8th
X-Dream Festival. On Thursday, 8
December 2016 at 20:30 at ARTos Foundation, musicians and composers will
meet to perform live soundtracks for
video and film works without sound by contemporary creators of their choice. The audience will have a unique experience
where the musicians-composers perform live their music while the films/videos
that have inspired them are simultaneously screened.
"The contemporary
cinema could take back this expressive freedom" the Moving Silence’s
members state. "Any visual style can profit from a
sound language, by using advanced digital technologies as well as old
analogue techniques. Live performances sustain and amplify the
films as musicians can breathe new life into silent cinema, which
inappropriately remained silent for such a long time."
Encouraging collaboration and exchange between musicians, artists and
cinematographers, the Moving Silence platform, therefore, invites the Nicosia
audience to new audiovisual experiences expressed through live improvisations
and interpretations, where experimental image and sound are expected to meet in
unusual and unexpected ways.
Moving Silence was
originally founded in the summer of 2009 by the musician Marco Brosolo,
filmmaker Matthias Fritsch and producer Federico Bassetti with the aim to
create events that connect the roots of cinematography with the present
aesthetics of image, the live music production and the potential of new
technology. It constitutes a poetic, intercultural and collaborative attempt in
times of information overload. It embraces experimentation and merging between
contemporary forms of visual and sound inviting artists from different parts of
the world to join in. Moving Silence events have taken place in different
cities around Europe.
