Moving Silence
new platform for contemporary silent movies

The Berlin based platform Moving Silence brings back the poetry of silent movies, connecting the early days cinema-form with the present aesthetics of image and live music production. In this frame, musicians join directors to create a live event focused on various works of all kind and genre.

“silent cinema : cinema = radio : television”

The whole program investigates the synthesis and disconnection between nowadays silent moving images and live sonic performance.

Moving Silence is an open network that invites directors and musicians to give new energies and criticisms, encouraging a new discussion about silent movie culture.

Silence is not silent.

An Evening with Miron Zownir and Birol Ünel

Actor Birol Ünel (Head On, Soulkitchen) reads bizarre short stories and hard boiled poetry from Miron Zownir’s book PARASITEN DER OHNMACHT.
Empathetic and venturous at the same time, he sets out on a fearless descent into existential nightmares of paranoia, violence and corruption, taking us right into the bleak souls of the lost and twisted…

Im Chaos der Tage

 T. W. Blum: Guitar, Electronic, Light painting |  Julia Dimitroff: Cello

 Accoustic and electronically manipulated instruments merge with light paintings in real time. Digital drawings and sounds are animated and combined with instrumental improvisation, creating sound and light textures.

Akkustische und elektronisch manipulierte Instrumente verschmelzen mit in Echtzeit generierter Lichtmalerei. Mittels Wii – Controller und Computer werden digitale Zeichnungen und Sounds animiert und mit instrumentalen Improvisationen kombiniert.

Es entstehen melodiöse bis atonal abstrahierte Klang –und Lichttexturen.
