ENHARMONIQUE is the result of the transformation produced by the encounter between matter and imagination. In this film, inspired by the cycle of nature through the four main elements (water, wind, earth and fire), existence follows non-existence and vice versa, and worlds follow one another. With the help of the music, which is exactly based on the evolution of the film and serves to further express its meaning, the audience is immersed from beginning to end, in one event after another, hearing a complete symphony. The notes or frequencies of these compositions are interpreted by algorithms, which generate an evolving and organic film, a kind of matter in motion. My aim is to show the movement of matter in space, as well as its change and transformation in the context of time and space. I leave the interpretation open to audiences with different points of view. - K.K.

CONTACT is a short documentary film directed by Jonathan Walley that chronicles the transformation of an entire skatepark into a playable musical instrument—where the skate, BMX, art, and music scenes collide. HCS has been many things: a skatepark, gallery, library, museum, and stage; but, for one weekend, Derek Nelson fabricator, activist, BMX pro, and artist, transformed his skatepark into an immersive sonic installation—part instrument, part playground—for the community of Binghamton, NY to become co‑creators in a conflagration of sound. SMALL TOWN, BIG SOUND. CONTACT reminds us of the joy in creativity, community, and the DIY spirit. Contact is about pushing boundaries, experimenting with art, and reclaiming space in an increasingly cruel, unkind, and oppressive world. It’s a poetic exploration of the creative process told by a filmmaker who calls HCS home.
