Right after an OUT.FEST that we all still feel not only under the skin but also with our ears and hearts, it’s an enormous pleasure to announce the 2nd edition of SONICA EKRANO – Documentary Film and the Musical Fringes, which will be held between the 21st and 29th of October in Barreiro.
SONICA EKRANO is dedicated to the music, musicians, sounds and movements on the fringes of massification and popularity, and aims to provide the opportunity to watch cinematic works that, even in this digital era, are hard to access, striving to contribute to a bigger audiovisual inclusion, as well as being mindful of geographic diversity and the equilibrium of historical perspectives and contemporary narratives.
This second edition presents 15 films, with almost half being exhibited for the first time in Portugal – highlighting the world premiere of “Na Corda Bamba”, the new film by the director Luís Fernandes, which follows the experimental music scene in Portugal, or “Universe”, , a documentary that broaches a series of compositions written by Wayne Shorter for the legendary Miles Davis, which awaited for decades to be released. For the remaining programme, we also have films portraying artists such as Lydia Lunch, Fela Kuti, Poly Styrene, Tangerine Dream ou Telectu, among others.
The screenings will be dividided between the Castello Lopes cinema in Fórum Barreiro, the local Cineclube, the Munincipal Library of Barreiro and Auditório Municipal Augusto Cabrita. The price of the ticketfor each session is 2,5€, with a general pass also available in limited numbers that grants access to all screenings for 10€ only.
