Duodroume is the brazilian audiovisual artist gabriela dworecki, extreme electronic music enthusiast and student of the intersections of cinema and sound. Raised in São Paulo to a soundtrack from her Hungarian roots, she spent her formative years exploring film and the music that surrounded her. Duodroume was born of Dworecki’s vision of interweaving the explosive audio of São Paulo’s breakcore scene with a visual narrative composed of spastic reappropriated film.

No one makes films like fabulist Guy Maddin. From his home in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Maddin is isolated from the facile preoccupations and coarse trends which plague the majority of Hollywood films nowadays. It could be argued, though, that he is also estranged from what passes for independent cinema. Truly a stranger in a strange land. But what a strange land indeed!His films are black comedic excursions into the netherworlds of silent film, but he also has an uncanny feel for replicating images and sounds from painting, classical music, and literature. They could easily become a pretentious mess in less-skilled hands, yet Maddin’s melodramatic films are anything but. They’re playful, complex, hilarious, and exquisite; a perfect melange of high art and camp. Cinematic images that can only be described as post-modern phantasms.
