IFFR x WORM Sound & Vision:

Art Directions is the place where IFFR steps out of the screening room and pushes the limits of what cinema can be. sound//vision is a unique collaboration between WORM and the festival, celebrating film as an electrifying live art form.

20:00 hr:
Blue Sun
By Yen Wang-Yun
Netherlands/Taiwan, 2025, 25 min., no dialogue

Blue Sun reflects on the 1984 mining accidents in Northern Taipei and their enduring impact. Inspired by the works of Taiwanese novelist Tong Wei-Ger, the performance explores how these events continue to shape memory and identity. Through 16mm film projections, modular synth soundscapes by Nick Tsai, and live drawing by Chin Meng-Hsuan, Blue Sun bridges literature and performance, exploring the lingering energy of the landscapes evoked in Tung’s fiction.

21:15 hr:
Lunar dust
By Billy Roisz & dieb13
Austria, 2025, 30 min., English/German, live performance

Viennese video – and performance artist Billy Roisz is no stranger to sound//vision. The experimental powerhouse returns to the festival this year with Lunar Dust – made up of video, electronics, microphones, and cymbals, and featuring her longtime collaborator Dieter Kovačič aka dieb13 on turntables. A synaesthesia-inducing, sense-boggling audiovisual trip guaranteed.
