KYTN is one of Europeıs leading festivals of sound and image, exploring the
many different ways in which renowned experimental filmmakers and musicians
investigate the borders between what you hear and what you see via live
performances and film screenings.
It involves some of the great experimental artists, musicians and filmmakers
of the last 50 years, and some of the not too distant future also. It
features film developed as its projected, visual harmonics, jerry rigged
16mm projectors, movement without motion, absurd concrete poetry, your
chance to inhabit 3 distinct points in time all at once and much more
besides...

FILM SCREENINGS
Our film programmes navigate the multiple ways in which filmmakers and
artists have addressed the dilemmas and possibilities of sound and image,
from optical printing and syneasthesia, to complex discontinuities between
what we see and what we hear.
