Unframing Documentary presents sound works to be experienced in the darkness of Cinéma Moderne. For the second year running, cinema is taking a visual sabbatical. To tell stories through sound is to access an endlessly evocative power, akin to that of literature, and one that offers unprecedented creative freedom. As Orson Welles once said: “on the radio, the screen is larger than in the cinema.”
This program includes Sound Desert, and a RIDM favorite from the creative audio festival Phonurgia Nova.
Presented in collaboration with Jenny Cartwright.
