Vertical Cinema is a monumental and mesmerising audio-visual experience: ten new works by experimental filmmakers, projected vertically on 35 mm celluloid with a custom-built projector in vertical cinemascope. A unique blend of abstract cinema, structural experiments, found footage, chemical film explorations and laser action, Vertical Cinema represents a provocation to expand the cinematic image onto a new axis. Curated and produced by Sonic Acts, Vertical Cinema features commissioned works by Joost Rekveld, Rosa Menkman, Makino Takashi & Telcosystems, Esther Urlus, Martijn van Boven & Gert-Jan Prins, Billy Roisz & Dieter Kovacic, Tina Frank, Björn Kämmerer, Manuel Knapp and Johann Lurf.
