Sounds Around

In these short films music is everywhere: it is in your ears and in your eyes. Music is the land you travel through and the house you live in. It is the soundtrack of break ups and make ups, of youth and old age. Image, story and sound merge, diverge and intermingle in Sounds Around.


Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers
Ola Simonsson & Johannes Stjärne Nilsson - Sweden - 10' - fiction
Six drummers participate in a well-planned musical attack in the suburbs. As an elderly couple leave their apartment the drummers take over. On everyday objects they give a concert in four movements: kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and livingroom. The drummers perform on everything from dogdishes and slippers to toiletbrush and microwave oven. The hidden music in the household objects is just waiting to be brought to life.
