FILM PREMIERE of “NO SUBJECT” by MA @ NEW YORK CITY (USA) (1 FEBRUARY, 2020)

Check out the new Trailer of Miriam Aziz’s film “NO SUBJECT” which will be premiered on February 1st in New York at the NYsoundCircuit (NYsC) salon series at the Flux Factory.

Miriam Aziz (“MA”) shot “NO SUBJECT” in Denver, Colorado during the winter of 2011 while she was a Visiting Professor at the Korbel School of International Studies at Denver University. She edited the film and created the sound scape in Milan last year in time for a 2020 release. What inspired MA to make the film was a sense of the tactile loss of ‘vintage’ forms of communication (e.g. face to face meeting, letter writing, public phones, type-writers) and its effect on muscle memory for creating and experiencing dialogue in real time. She seeks to explore whether there is a danger of the virtual world overly colonising the space and the time it takes to be human; to share our experience of being human; and our capacity for community. In “NO SUBJECT”, MA questions whether this has led to a loss of contact and connection and whether this has in any way affected the authenticity of her voice. These are questions for which she does not have any answers nor does she expect to find a definitive conclusion. The film is a mere observation.
