《From Your Mouth to Our Ears》+《Films About Lynne Sachs Who》

Curated and organised by Zhel Vukicevic and Kerry Baldry, Screamstation Fest presents two programmes exploring the shifting relationship between sound, image, narrative and cinematic form. Across 17 films from 13 countries, the 2026 edition moves from radical experiments in perception, structure and audiovisual language to short films engaging with sexuality, power, ecology, violence and the contemporary world. Ten works that approach cinema as a space for experimentation with image, sound, duration, movement and perception.

Cinema Konsonant and Kino Ponrepo present a two-program screening in remembrance of Fred Worden, who passed away on March 7 this year. Fred Worden (b. 1946, New York), described as "post-1960s pioneer of cinematic optical investigation," spent more than five decades exploring what film preservationist Mark Toscano calls "the outer limits of our vision." Having studied under Pat O'Neill and Robert Nelson at CalArts, he experimented with a wide range of approaches to filmmaking, gradually developing a cinematic language increasingly detached from conventional representation.

Ute Aurand is a German experimental filmmaker, curator, and lecturer. In her films, she captures personal observations with her 16mm Bolex camera: visits with friends, celebrations, the changing of the seasons, intimate moments. The images come and go at their own pace; some linger, while most flit by in rapid succession, and the sound, too, begins and ends abruptly. Despite this fleeting nature, the films radiate a warmth and tranquility that is almost impossible to resist, allowing us to share in small moments of happiness.
