Songs for living
This pulsating celebration of togetherness is a much-needed emotional antidote to these years of pandemic isolation. If Korakrit Arnunanondchai’s Songs for dying (IFFR 2022) is about the departure of the soul, his latest collaboration with Alex Gvojic is about spirits finding bodies and re-entering the world. Thunderous drumming, screeching feedback, and a mystical narration by musician Zsela bring warmth to distant human bodies from Thailand to New York, in rituals that rejoice in collective existence.
