Duration | 60 min |
4 times the same film, yet no two moments are ever repeated.
How can music direct the story of a film, or vice versa? We find out together with Postland. These four versatile composers, two of whom are also practiced visual artists, stretch the possibilities of music without it ever breaking. In Sound of View, they give the same film a different live soundtrack each time. From jazz to rock, rhythmic to quiet. We will be viewing a mysterious short film by the famous filmmaker Barbara Meter four times – and each viewing can mean something different to everyone. Full of nature, color, black and white and elusiveness. Come, listen and watch it together.
