Sound
When the invisible becomes audible – sound as a storytelling element: With DEEP DIVE SOUND, FILMFEST HAMBURG dedicates an exclusive event to this essential art form, diving into the world of sound and exploring the question: How do aliens sound in an emotional, psychological science-fiction universe?
