Review of the international and interdisciplinary conference "Architecture-Film-Sound"

From May 23 - 25, 2024, the international and interdisciplinary conference "Architecture - Film - Sound" took place at the Meerscheinschlössl under the direction of Julian Blunk and Kassandra Nakas. At the interface of art, music, film and media studies, the conference explored the ways in which architectural experience can be optimized, channeled and interpreted in its cinematic and sonic development. The extent to which the temporal arts have already cultivated topical figures of spatial development or theorized structural correspondences between architecture and film and sound art (composition, montage, etc.) was discussed. The lectures by speakers from Austria and abroad were complemented by a short film program with commentary in the Schubertkino and an artist talk on site.
