KLANGLICHT: Sound of Light
The San Francisco Dance Film Festival returns from October 24 to November 9, offering an extensive program centered around dance on screen. This year’s festival features 18 curated programs that highlight the power of movement in all its forms, from deeply personal documentaries and narrative shorts to boundary-pushing dance films, live performance recordings, and vibrant music videos.
The audiovisual music project “Klanglicht – Sound of Light”, which aims to convey the impressions of individuals who hear again for the first time after years of severe hearing loss or deafness, following the initial fitting of a cochlear implant, was nominated for the San Francisco Dance Film Festival for its artistic achievement. Video artist Boris Seewald (Berlin) has once again demonstrated his creativity internationally with this project.
We warmly congratulate him on this success!
