Student City Cultural Center, Monday 16 November: 6th International Silent Film Festival “Silence Is Golden”

On Monday at 6:00 PM, the Small Hall of the Student City Cultural Center turns into a space for both classic and contemporary silent cinema for the sixth edition of “Silence Is Golden.” The evening opens with a lecture illustrated by film excerpts, “One Hundred and Ten Influential Figures from 1904–1945 on Film Who Shaped Serbian Politics, History and Culture,” led by Aleksandar Erdeljanović, film historian and director of the Yugoslav Film Archive. At 8:00 PM, the competition program begins with films “The Knot” by Simona Contestabile, “The Last Projectionist” by Vítor Casemiro, “The Color of Sound” by John Graham, “Sauna” by Lazar Jovanović, “Silent Knights” by Ethan Hughes, “Spheres” by Martin Gerig, and “Symphony No. 9” by Sila Buza Giler. The night concludes at 9:30 PM with “Found Footage Soundscapes,” a screening of archival film material accompanied by improvised electronic music performed by Izvanredni Bob. With screenings, a conversation about film history, and a live musical response to moving images, this DKSG date is especially appealing to audiences who enjoy cinema beyond the usual theater rhythm.
