Moving Silence - Zeitgenössisches Stummfilmkino

In the organizer's words:

"Moving Silence" has set itself the goal of breathing new life into the art form of silent film, in which live music and image merge into a holistic poetic synthesis.

The Moving Silence events aim to expand the contemporary cinema panorama by drawing attention back to pure visual language, independent and detached from dialog, enhanced by live music performances in all their diversity: from acoustic to electronic, from concrete music to pop, from DJs to choral ensembles...

On this evening, "Moving Silence" presents four films that have never been shown in Berlin before: "My big love in my little dog", a story about love between pets and humans, "Schicht", a portrait of dreams trapped in everyday life, "Il settimo giorno l'abbaglio": two men, two solitudes, and "Juggernaut" - a medieval story with a dark and visionary atmosphere. The musical accompaniment will be provided by Youjin Sung on the gayageum, the traditional Korean harp, and Marco Brosolo on the synthesizers.
