A three-day festival celebrating the making of film, music and sound will return to Surrey this weekend.

KinoSonic will take place at Farnham Maltings creative arts center from Friday to Sunday.

Presented in partnership with the University for the Creative Arts (UCA), it focuses on stimulating creativity through a diverse program of performances, screenings, workshops and networking events.

“Whether you’re a cinephile, a music lover or simply curious to explore new artistic frontiers, there’s something for everyone,” said Peter Glanville, CEO of Farnham Maltings.

KinoSonic 2024 highlights include four-piece band Minima performing a live score to Alfred Hitchock’s classic 1927 silent film The Lodger, talks with acclaimed directors Robert Morgan and Peter Strickland, and exclusive Q&As with the musician and filmmaker Natasha Khan aka Bat for Lashes following the screening of her film The Dream of Delphi – A New Transmission.

The BBC Big Band will also perform a concert of iconic film tracks from 80 years of cinema, along with a BFI Network presentation of short films and immersive audio-visual installations from Dr William Bishop-Stephens and Sea of ​​Cables from UCA.

There will also be workshops on topics such as Foley sound effects, film scores and experimental music making.
