Program 2: Night Music
Sometimes the closer you look and listen, the less you see and hear. Films about translation and things that are lost in it. Police horses, anechoic chambers, broken eggs, and Eine kleine Nachtmusik.
Night Music
Edwin Rostron, 2024
RT: 03:25 minutes
A little night music for the eyes. Geometric shapes dance and transform in the dark. The rain falls, a storm approaches.
Man number 4
Miranda Pennell, 2024
RT: 09:52 minutes
Gaza, December 2023. A confrontation with a disturbing photograph on social media triggers questions about what it means to be an onlooker.

RT: 16:36 minutes
This hybrid documentary explores the involuntary role of animals in human conflict. Filmed during January to September 2023 in Israel and the West Bank, the film provides a glimpse into daily life in the months preceding the Israel-Gaza War.
An egg, the white is gone but the yellow remains
Mohamed Thara, 2023
RT: 03:50 minutes
Inside an egg, the white and the yellow coexist harmoniously and naturally, even though they don’t have the same texture, color, shape, or smell. But when there is a fracture, a break, or a rupture between them, each follows its own nature.

What is Music?
Listening In, Resounding Out
Eislow Johnson, Dominic Bonelli, 2023
RT: 11:23
Through the ears of an acoustic engineer, the film explores how in the near silence of the anechoic chamber, listening is a straining toward understanding and connection. It engages with cinema as a body — one given presence and depth through sound — and a body as a resounding instrument, which listens to its own vibratory depths and amplifies its feedback.
Translation Please
Rankin Renwick, 2024
RT: 15:53 minutes
A film about people who are trying hard to listen, and people who are hardly listening.
