Un chant aveugle

Stefano Canapa, born in Turin (Italy) in 1977, holds a Master’s degree in Film History and Technology. Since the late 1990s, he has been a member of the L’Abominable artists’ film laboratory, making experimental films, documentaries, performances, and installations with musicians from the field of experimental music. In a way, his approach lies at the intersection of these different genres. He often constructs his films from images drawn from his daily life, using simple staging, linking a manual and poetic approach to exploring the possibilities offered by the tools of analog cinema.

His work has been presented and awarded prizes at numerous international festivals, exhibitions, and alternative venues (Locarno, Rotterdam, Berlin, Oberhausen, Marseille, Paris, Barcelona, Seoul, New York, Toronto, Montreal, etc.).

Natacha Muslera is a musician, composer, and filmmaker. Since the 1990s, she has devoted herself to experimental and poetic research into the voice as an instrument. She nurtures free and collective vocal practices in a variety of contexts and plays in various multidisciplinary groups and collectives.

In the early 2000s, she began making films and performances that experiment with the relationships between sound and image, image and voice, where the experience of listening amplifies that of seeing. Over time, Natacha has recorded the sounds of the world: sound ecosystems and shortwave radio, struggles, languages, and inarticulate songs. With this material, she composed for cinema and radio (France Musique, France Culture, BBC, Radio Grenouille, etc.). She has co-directed in 2021 L’année qui vient with Stefano Canapa.
