Screening of the documentary “Improvisations in parallel mode” <\/strong>(2022, 44′) by Petros Kolotouros<\/strong> and discussion with the director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experiencial intake of a journey in search of sounds and musical improvisations in the rural canvas of the Greek countryside. An audio-visual haiku that reveals the hidden architecture of a nature that breathes mysticism and rituality. Improvisation is the subject as well as the creative method of this collective audiovisual work. Guided by the musicians we wanted to meet, we set off on a spontaneous journey, with as little rational mediation as possible and with the maximum possible conscious presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director Statement:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cImprovisations in parallel mode\u201d<\/strong> is a documentary film the idea of which has been taking shape
some years already in my mind. More than a clear script or subject, it is an experiment on the
process of filming a documentary, integrating the two basic elements of improvisation and coauthorship.
The soundtrack is completely made from the improvised sessions we recorded, layering
and blending them with soundscapes that spoke to us while travelling. At the end of the day, it feels
like a polyphonic piece, giving voice to the mystical elements of nature and the processes of
interaction between humans and the rest of the Creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short Bio of the director:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petros Kolotouros is an audiovisual creator who bridges the realism of the documentary on the one
hand, with abstraction and sensory visual poetry on the other. From a young age he was involved in
music and photography, activities that he carried out professionally and artistically alongside his
polytechnic studies (diploma in Mechanical Engineering, 2011). In 2021, he graduates with honors
the MSc in “Culture And Documentary Film Production\u201d from the “Department of Cultural
Technology and Communication\u201d of the Aegean University. He has directed many video clips, videodance
and video art while he participated as director of photography in the feature-length
documentary “Me and my shadow” about the musician Nikos Papazoglou. His latest movie
“Improvisatons in parallel mode”, is a poetic documentary with sound the key element of the
narration. Both films premiered at the Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival in 2018 and
2022 respectively, with the former winning the Audience Award at the New York Greek Film Festival,
while the latter won Best Soundtrack at the Barcelona Planet Film Fesival and Best Music
Documentary Award at the 9th Peloponnese International Documentary Festival. In 2023 he works as
a core member on the developing of the \u201cAudiovisual Center of Cultural Heritage\u201c in Patras, Greece.
His main focus and research interest lies in the sensory possibilities of the combination of visual
language with sound. He lives in Athens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
