Icon Island:<\/a> The project features a live collage of visuals that draws inspiration from films dealing with the mystic and romantic journey to islands, representing alternative societies or different states of mind and pieced together by iconic scenes from films that have a connection to Malta. The thought-provoking visuals are aimed at engaging audiences to reflect on island customs and the way islands are commonly viewed \u2013 as places of paradise but also of fear, while the improvised electronic soundscapes, inspired by the visuals themselves enhance the overall experience.<\/p>\n

ICON Island<\/a> is a collaboration between Virgil Widrich<\/a>, an Austrian filmmaker and director known for his experimental films and multimedia works, and leading Maltese electronic music producer Sonitus Eco<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The collage of visuals is inspired by films dealing with the mystic and romantic journey to islands representing alternative societies or different states of mind. Questioning local customs and the identity of their visitors, these places can be both a paradise and a threat.<\/p>\n

Carefully selected visuals \u2013 many of which include a connection to Malta and its cinematic history \u2013 will be projected as a \u2018live\u2019 mix, accompanied by an improvised electronic music performance by Maltese artist Sonitus Eco. The sounds of the films are re-imagined on the fly, with sound reacting to \u2013 or even opposing \u2013 the images.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
