The festival pass for this year's Forward Festival is now available here.
The third edition of Forward starts on the biggest screen in Switzerland: the Filmtheatre at the Swiss Museum of Transport, where we will show An Index of Metals. In this video opera created shortly before his premature death in 2004, the Italian Fausto Romitelli transgressed all boundaries of genre. Sound, video projection and lighting, new music, rock and techno, instrumental sonorities and the electronically filtered soprano of Sofia Jernberg all merge together into a “magma of flowing tones, shapes, and colors” — an overwhelming synesthetic, and even psychedelic, experience. The French artist Clara Maïda similarly intertwines video and music in Web Studies, reflecting on our hyper-connected world in which “every micro movement can induce an intense upheaval …”
