Field Recordings 6 brings together films, sound, and installation works that share a commitment to slow, attentive observation in moments of rupture. Across the programme, makers turn their cameras and microphones toward landscapes and communities under pressure: from the Zapata swamps of Cuba to an occupied Georgian village; from the besieged skies of Beirut to rural Iran under the Shah; from a glacier dissolving in Iceland to the Indian Ocean traversed by sailors and traders. Several works draw on archives, both personal and institutional, to recover what colonial and authoritarian regimes have tried to erase, or to engage in cross-generation conversation. Others propose alternative scales altogether, whether geological, planetary, or more-than-human, as ways of imagining survival. In addition to the screenings, the festival hosts listening and spatial practices, including a sound piece, an installation, and a newly commissioned work-in-progress by Raquel Vermunt, set on a ferry crossing the Biesbosch. Rather than a shared subject, what connects these works is a shared sensibility: an interest in the vulnerabilities of artistic practice; in the textures of everyday life under precarity; and in the politics of how, and by whom, a story is told.

Field Recordings 6 is excited to present two in-focus programmes showcasing films by Marion Scemama and Ivana Mladenović, whose experimental bodies of work emphasise the relationship between marginalised subjectivities and place, in the disparate historical moments of 1980s New York City and present-day Romania. Scemama and Mladenović dedicate themselves to complex depictions of masculinity, and its interaction with class, race, and morality, questioning conventions of representation and disrupting the traditional dynamics between director and protagonists, while working with people who live in tension with social and political norms. Field Recordings 6 showcases rarely screened films by Scemama and Mladenović, bringing them to Dutch audiences for the first time.
