alyosha and the cat
a project by Katharina Swoboda and Kamen Stoyanov
a short-fiction and exhibition
“A film about an unusual encounter in front of the Monument to Alyosha on the Bunardzhika hill in Plovdiv and some archival photographs. Through the means of the song, the film shows two different points of view on the monument, its prehistory and how mythologies are born. The main characters Vasil and Katarina respond to the Alyosha song, created in 1966 and enjoying great popularity, with the Alexey Skurlatov song, specially composed for the film.”

chantal akerman, saute ma ville
2016 – 4 channels – 30 min
For a residency in Q-02, Acousmatic Foley took Chantal Akerman’s first short movie “Saute Ma Ville” (1968) as a case study. Throughout Akerman’s sound-work, the project foregrounded concepts as “sound-motif”, “sound-actor” and “sound-prop”.
This residency was kindly authorized by Chantal Akerman’ State, through the Beligium Cinematek.
The performance starts of with Live Foley for the silent parts of the film, and then proceeds acousmatically with the samples taken from the original track. It has been performed at PAF (2018) and Ponrepo (2019).
In 2020, a study of the movie has been published in Iluminace (2019/4).
