This event is covered by the International Pass. You cannot buy an individual ticket for this event.


A sonic-themed shorts programme encompassing documentaries, mashups, experimental fare, plus a couple of crackers from Birmingham too.


This is the international version of our Optical Sound competition. The original programme contains 2 films that are unfortunately not available to watch outside of the UK : Orgiastic Hyper-Plastic by Paul Bush and Harmonic Spectrum by Austen McCowan & Will Hewitt.


All of the films are eligible for the Optical Sound Award, given out by our jury. The winner will be revealed at our Flatpack Awards on 30 May (free event, booking essential).


Total running time: 38 mins

Finnish engineer Eric Tigerstedt solved the dilemma of sound-on-film already before World War I. All images and sounds are produced from the surviving test materials originally created in 1914.
