Moving Silence
An evening dedicated to contemporary “silent” moving image and experimental sound
Following the great success of Moving Silence in Cyprus for the past six years at ARTos Foundation, Moving Silence takes place for the seventh consecutive year in collaboration with the
Goethe-Institut Cyprus on Thursday, 7 December 2017 at 19:30 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.
Moving Silence was originally founded in the summer of 2009 by the musician Marco Brosolo, filmmaker Matthias Fritsch and producer Federico Bassetti with the aim to create events that connect the roots of cinematography with the present aesthetics of image, the live music production and the potential of new technology. It constitutes a poetic, intercultural and collaborative attempt in times of information overload. It embraces experimentation and merging between contemporary forms of visual and sound inviting artists from different parts of the world to join in. Moving Silence events have taken place in different cities around Europe.

Andreas Moustoukis (CY), Tasos Stylianou (CY), Achilleas Kentonis (CY), Nektarios Rodosthenous with Stephanos Koutelis (CY) Yorgos Dimitriadis (DE), Yiannis Mirallis (CY), Frank Gratowski (DE), Stephanie Alexi (CY), Haris Sophocleous (CY), Maria Yerosimou with Andreas Papapetrou (CY), Kyriacos Sofroniou (CY).
