Mind-tripping on screen at Dom na Kinoto
If a holiday away has proven illusive, check out the German film Trip: Remix Your Experience at arthouse cinema Dom na Kinoto in Sofia on July 31. The 9pm Thursday screening is part of Bulgarian production company Pozor's Kuso לּ Suedinenie (Short לּ Circuit) project, which aims to give wider screen time to independent and experimental films.
Trip is a mix of images set astir by musical dramaturgy, a multimedia performance that makes music visual (think a modern-day Fantasia). Director Frank Otto and co-writer Bernt Köhler-Adams conceived the idea in 2001, when they decided that a certain song should be the leading element in an atypical synthesis of art.
Taking their idea to the German underground scene, they together made it into a 76-minute film that was, at its 2005 premiere in Japan, projected simultaneously on four massive screens surrounded by 12 smaller ones, according to kinocritics.com.
It is something like a choose your own ending novel, only here, the viewers follow the version they want visually – four separate themes (artwork, seamusic, playing planet, track 2), each shot at different locations around the world, run parallely on the screen, giving you the choice of escape.
Music for Trip: Remix Your Experience is the work of various artists of various genres of various places around the world, like the South African vocalist Audrey Motaung, the Austrian didgeridoo player Dragan Reiser, Egyptian vocalist Ahmed Saved Ahmed and American e-guitar player Richard Schumacher. On the film's website, the creators describe it as “a one-track symphony”.
The Short Circuit project holds screening of art films each Thursday at Dom na Kinoto.
