Plus, we are very proud to announce that acclaimed singer-songwriter Mike Kovacs will be doing an audio-visual concert on Friday, June 13 at 7PM! The in-person screenings and the Mike Kovacs concert will be held in Voorhees Hall #105/Rutgers University, 71 Hamilton Street, New Brunswick, NJ beginning at 5PM or 7PM on their show date. General Admission Ticket=$15 Per Program; Festival All Access Pass=$120; In-Person Only Student Ticket=$10 Per Program.
Soft Wind Shells is an audiovisual exploration that delves into the dynamics of transmission and echoes, weaving a narrative that captures the fluidity and fragility of communication and the inevitable distortions that occur through each act of transmission. The film draws inspiration from two classic children’s games that play with things getting lost and found when words are passed through. They are passed through the air, through water, our bodies, our hands, each material having different influences. The visuals depict abstract representations of sound waves, echoing patterns, and fragmented images that shift and morph as they are relayed from one frame to the next. The audio component, layered with whispers, echoes, and distortions, mirrors the organic evolution of the original messages.
