Noise
Przemyslaw Adamski／Poland／7:00／Animation／2011
Sound plays the leading role in this film, anticipating the generation of images. At the same time, the imagination is provoked by sound. Noises seeping into the protagonist's flat are subject to his individual interpretation, and deprived of visual correlations the sounds evoke images often remote from their sources.
