Also on the programme: live audiovisual show by Bucharest’s best kept secret Khidja and a DJ set by the young Romanian producer Eirwud Mudwasser. For fans of adventurous electronica!
KINEMA IKON
The artists of the collective Kinema Ikon have found ways to access and recycle bits of film tape from the days of censorship and exorbitant state-control. The artists made collages with the leftovers of 16mm tape that had been mostly used for propaganda films and created a series of experimental films of rare beauty. Hence the unofficial character of these shorts, no soundtracks could be composed. EUROPALIA has asked 5 Romanian and 5 Belgian artists to rescore a selection of 10 short films.

HUN HUN
Armés de leurs synthés et samples, les frères jumeaux Jimmy et Noe Moens vous emmènent dans un univers sonore qui semble sortir tout droit du cinéma turc vintage. hunhun.bandcamp.com
KHIDJA AND MIHAI BALABAS
The duo Khidja take their name from a number by the American, latin-influenced funk band Mandrill. That’s where the similarities end, though; these Bucharest underground favourites have created an extremely personal blend of Turkish disco, futuristic dance, traditional lautareasca and kraut from another universe. For Europalia, Khidja are hitting the ground running, accompanying their performance with impressive projections.

EIRWUD MUDWASSER
Eirwud Mudwasser is the alias of the young Romanian producer and DJ Vlad Matei. He combines new beat, dub, tribal house, Berlin-school electronica and left-field Balearic to create an eclectic whole. On his debut 12”, released on Balearic Social, Matei seeks out a balance between warm, organic sounds and complex arrangements for classic synths.
