ARTOS HOUSE
Moving Silence
Moving Silence was originally founded in the summer of 2009 by the musician Marco Brosolo, filmmaker Matthias Fritsch and producer Federico Bassetti with the aim to create events that connect the roots of cinematography with the present aesthetics of image, the live music production and the potential of new technology. It constitutes a poetic, intercultural and collaborative attempt in times of information overload. It embraces experimentation and merging between contemporary forms of visual and sound inviting artists from different parts of the world to join in. Moving Silence events have taken place in different cities around Europe.
Dedicated to contemporary “silent” moving image and experimental sound, musicians, and composers meet every year in December at Artos House to perform live soundtracks for video and film works without sound by contemporary creators of their choice. The audience have a unique experience where the musicians-composers perform live their music while the films/videos that have inspired them are simultaneously screened.
“The contemporary cinema could take back this expressive freedom. Any visual style can profit from a sound language, by using advanced digital technologies as well as old analogue techniques. Live performances sustain and amplify the films as musicians can breathe new life into silent cinema, which inappropriately remained silent for such a long time.” the Moving Silence’s members state
Encouraging collaboration and exchange between musicians, artists and cinematographers, the Moving Silence platform, therefore, invites the Nicosia audience to new audiovisual experiences expressed through live improvisations and interpretations, where experimental image and sound are expected to meet in unusual and unexpected ways.
