Screenings
Seven short movements filmed along the same river over one year: ice, flood, a swimmer, a factory outflow, a wedding, a drought and the first frost. Wójcik’s experimental film has no dialogue and no fixed soundtrack. Kite Archive perform a new score for tape loops and cello, written for this festival.
Digitised in 4K from the director’s own 16mm reversal print.

Tape loops and cello duo
Kite Archive build slow pieces from cut tape loops and bowed cello. Their new score for Seven Studies of a River gives each movement its own loop.
