MOVING SILENCE

MOVING SILENCE in Thessaloniki!

International silent short films accompanied by live music.

March 10-11, 2017

Contemporary Art Center of Thessaloniki l Warehouse Β1, Port

Time screenings: 20:00

Moving Silence, the Berlin-based platform for contemporary silent film is returning to the Contemporary Art Center of Thessaloniki for the second time, March 10 -11, 2017, with the support of the Goethe Institut Thessaloniki, in the framework of the 19^th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival.

Since 2009, the network of international artists has been organizing screenings of film programs without sound with live music. The poetry of silent programmes that goes back to the very beginning of cinema is expressed through the contemporary aesthetics of the digital and analog image, and sound production. The event includes an international program of short films accompanied by live music played by musicians based in Thessaloniki. The entry is free with voluntary contribution

Parallel event: digital exhibition 'GIF. Morphologies of a copyleft tale'. The exhibition brings together silent film and GIF culture, exploring the design potential and creative transformations of a GIF when it goes viral, re-examining from a contemporary visual perspective the study of Vladimir Propp "Morphology of the folktale" on the anonymous and collective story formation. The project is part of the Moving Silence activities in collaboration with the HMKW University of Applied Sciences, the DER FILTER Team in Berlin and the Librarybox project. The exhibition can be accessed virtually through a pop-up local network that follows the physical venues of the Moving Silence events. Bring along your smartphones and tablets!
