Echoes of Dissent: A Lesson in Sonic Radicalism in Cinema
Listening session @ Stegi.Radio Takeover, Athens. 24 January 2025.
“Stegi Radio Takeover presents a listening session on the radical use of sound in cinema. In the session, researcher and curator Stoffel Debuysere will discuss with Yannis-Orestis Papadimitriou on various clips from experimental films that exemplify a different understanding of the aural components in cinema, coming from creators that used the audible to subvert and transcend established limits and rules in the cinematic medium. From underground film collectives to the visionary new languages articulated by cinema’s pioneers, the session will show how sound and music has been used as a tool that allowed filmmakers, whether coming from the periphery or oppressed minorities, to express their outsider perspective against the hierarchies of the medium — often as an explicit political statement.”
