10 Year Anniversary of Moving Silence
1 November 2020 at 20:30
at ARTos
An evening dedicated to contemporary “silent” moving image and experimental sound.
Following
the great success of Moving Silence in Cyprus for the past nine years at ARTos,
Moving Silence takes place for the tenth
consecutive year in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Cyprus. On Sunday,
1 November 2020 at 20:30 at ARTos, musicians and composers will meet to perform live soundtracks for silent video
and film works 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 event will be streamed
live also through the Freiraum Festival (www.freiraumfestival.eu),
where audiences around Europe will have the opportunity to connect and enjoy
the event live.
"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 Cyprus 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.
