November 19 | With Sonic Constellations, Chicago-based scholar and curator chris d. reeder, alongside artist and theorist Nina Garibaldi, explores the essential role of sound in cinema, revealing how scores shape narratives and emotional experiences. This engaging program, using sounds from films in this year’s Black Harvest Film Festival, connects Chicago’s vibrant musical landscape, especially house music, to diasporic sounds in film. Together, they analyze how beats per minute and frames per second influence emotional engagement. Through their discussions on positionality, community, and memory, attendees will discover the power of sonic constellations, celebrating how each viewer’s unique sonic knowledge enriches our collective appreciation of cinema.
