An evening dedicated to
contemporary silent moving image
and experimental sound


Within the framework of the
8th X-Dream Festival

- Free admission
-






Following the great success of Moving Silence in Cyprus for the past five years at ARTos Foundation, Moving Silence takes place for the sixth consecutive year in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Cyprus and with the support of the Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture and Instituto Cervantes Nicosia, within the framework of the 8th X-Dream Festival. On Thursday, 8 December 2016 at 20:30 at ARTos Foundation, musicians and composers will meet to perform live soundtracks for video and film works without sound by contemporary creators of their choice.  The audience will have a unique experience where the musicians-composers perform live their music while the films/videos that have inspired them are simultaneously screened.

THE MUSICIANS

The singer of the band Ann & Bones is writing songs with a vain for darkness and melancholy - sometimes it is drama but nonetheless too unvarnished to be kitsch.

Die! Goldstein (ES - DE)
A terrifying and encouraging experimental visual post rock shoegaze drone noise experience, following a dystopian utopian cinematographic soundscape.
