An evening dedicated to
contemporary silent moving image
and experimental sound
Within the framework of the
11th X-Dream Festival
- Free admission -
Following the great success of Moving Silence in Cyprus for the past eight years at ARTos Foundation, Moving Silence took place for the ninth consecutive year in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Cyprus, within the framework of the 11th X-Dream Festival. On Friday, 13 December 2019 at 19:30 at ARTos Foundation, musicians and composers met to perform live soundtracks for video and film works without sound by contemporary creators of their choice. The audience had an unique experience where the musicians-composers performed live their music while the films/videos that have inspired them were simultaneously screened. Before the film program started our guest musician from Berlin Almuth Kühne gave a short solo presentation.
