About the event
Looking at Listening is a program of short documentary films organized around the themes of electronic music, archival retrieval, and audiovisual experimentation. These four films extend the inquiries into the legacy of women in electronic music beyond the figures most often highlighted while experimenting with the audiovisual presentation of archival material, and proposing new ways of relating the history of music and musical practice. The screenings will include a live performance by electronic musician Natalie Chami (TALsounds) and be followed by a panel discussion with Chami and filmmaker Emily Eddy, moderated by guest curator and NU Screen Cultures PhD candidate Jennifer Smart.
Presented with support from MA in Sound Arts and Industries at Northwestern University.
