About this event
How does music shape our engagement with moving images? What is the role of music in meaning making in film and screen media? In this multi-modal panel, musicians, video-makers and academics discuss the crucial role of sound in film.
The session will open with the screening of Ng’endo Mukii’s award-winning short film Yellow Fever (2012, 6’49”) followed by a discussion with its music composer, Senegalese musician Kadialy Kouyate, who has been teaching the kora at SOAS for over a decade.
This will be followed by a discussion with SOAS postgraduate student Merje Laiapea, maker of the video essay Feeling in Truth, an audiovisual affective response to Kamasi Washington’s music art video, Truth. The panel will close with a curated playlist and discussion by Dr Julie Lobalzo Wright and Dr Martha Shearer, co-editors of the book Musicals at the Margins: Genre, Boundaries, Canons.
This panel is curated by Dr Estrella Sendra (King’s College London), who will be chairing the discussion.
