Optical Sound

A film dance can be more than a performance in front of a camera – it can also be a frenetic compilation of the film strip elements that normally remain hidden from the viewer – and, in the digital age, have been completely eliminated. This playful and artistically bold movie demonstrates that even a purely abstract film can be downright entertaining. While the aesthetic experience abides undiminished, also evident is a distinctive trace of the analog era that can convey a visuality closely and wholly linked to the medium of film and the film strip itself.
