The Magic Circle Expanded Cinema Performance

The Magic Circle Expanded Cinema Performance at Bethanien, Berlin, 1st November 2024

Experimental Film Society (EFS) and TCS Festival present The Magic Circle, an immersive expanded cinema performance by artist-filmmaker Atoosa Pour Hosseini, composer Arefeh Hekmatpanah, and multimedia artist Yasaman Pishvaei. Blending 16mm film, live performance, and symbolic imagery, Pour Hosseini creates a dynamic, sensory experience that explores memory, perception, and nature's elemental forces. Hekmatpanah's dreamlike soundscapes deepen the atmosphere, while Pishvaei, as a masked sorceress, enchants the audience. The performance reclaims suppressed archetypes of witchcraft, challenging patriarchal narratives and evoking a mysterious, otherworldly realm.
