Kino Pamięci (Memory Cinema)

“Kino Pamięci” is a 3-channel sound collage merging voices, field recordings, electronic and acoustic sounds. Something between a diary, a chronicle of personal stories more important than official history and a soundscape portrait of Sokołowsko. It’ll also touch upon a subject of the significance of sound in film through use of various audio excerpts from movies as a commentary or counterpoint.
Each of the 3 segments will be quite independent and of different duration so, while running on loop, with every repetition the combined entity will result in slightly alterated version.
