Looking back: Kontraste 2013
Dark As Light, the final edition of the Kontraste Festival took place from 11 to 13 October 2013 in Krems, Austria. Curated by Sonic Acts, the festival was almost sold out and a truly memorable experience. The world premiere of Vertical Cinema was impressive, to say the least: the Minoriten Church was packed with a focused and attentive audience enjoying the ten new vertical films. Other highlights included the dark drone concerts by CC Hennix & the Chora(s)san Time Court Mirage, Thomas Ankersmit’s intense Serge synth performance, an entire evening of electronics and organ music during Spire in a local church, and the Sunday afternoon excursion to Franz Pomassl’s ten-story tall sound installation in the electricity plant in Theiss.
