EXPERIMENTAL SPOTLIGHT
Empty Orchestras and the Speed of Your Voice
Friday, July 27, 9 PM
Intro and Q&A with dir. Nao Yoshigai, dir. Yohei Suzuki and actress Elisa Yanagi
The human voice exhibits new texture when housed in the audiovisual containers of cinema. These works let the oral utterance sail while the image plays along, whether sounding out non-verbal affect, revealing the architecture of breath, reciting historical fantasy, or following a whistle into the sky, and scream through the night. (Total running time approx. 87 min.)
