A FINAL LISTENING SESSION!
This Sunday, November 27, at 3 p.m. in the Salle Crave of the Cinémathèque québécoise, the public will be able to enjoy the work of five trios who were invited by Transistor Média to participate in Kino-radio last October. Their objective was to create, in 48 hours, an original sound work of fewer than 10 minutes in length, based on the theme “Au cœur d’un samedi soir”. The result of this friendly competition will be presented free of charge in the presence of the artists.
