Listening to the image – Watching the sound [Spotlight sixpackfilm showcase]

The idea of making music or sound visible and hence to create a synaesthetic experience does already exist since nearly one century in artistic filmmaking. All the selected films presented in this program deal with image/sound accordance or shift – whether they are a “kind-of“ music-video, an abstract animation, a street performance or a documentary about a clarinet duo – resulting in a visualisation of the acoustics, in the interpretation of image-information into sound design or in a general query of our practiced perception. Bring your ears and eyes! gw
