RIDM – Audio Documentary Listening Sessions : Memory

This program is produced in collaboration with Jenny Cartwright

Unframing Documentary presents sound works to be experienced in the darkness of Cinéma Moderne. For the second year running, cinema is taking a visual sabbatical. To tell stories through sound is to access an endlessly evocative power, akin to that of literature, and one that offers unprecedented creative freedom. As Orson Welles once said: “on the radio, the screen is larger than in the cinema.”

In this program, three sound creations tackle the theme of memory. What remains of the places and people we love once they’ve disappeared or been transformed?
