"Metamkine is cinema for the ears and music for the eyes" (Tom Cora)

La Cellule d'Intervention METAMKINE is an open-ended group including musicians and filmmakers analyzing the relationship between image and sound. Since 1987, different concepts have been carried out and performed in festivals, galleries, cinemas and contemporary art spaces, in France, Europe, Canada, USA. Since 1995, METAMKINE develops collaborations with other groups or artists like Nachtluft (Switzerland), Kinobits (France), Loophole Cinema (England), Tom Cora (USA), Pitch (France), la Flibuste (France), Voice Crack (Switzerland). Through the magic of mirrors, multiple projectors and highly ingenious live on stage editing, Metamkine produces and directs a new film with each of their performances.
Working around a core narrative, they spill eddies of impromptu vignettes, accompanied by a live soundtrack of tape fragments and ancient synthesizer sounds. These three collaborators, who have worked together for six years, have succeeded in pushing the boundaries of film and soundtrack into the realm of live performance - Utterly unique.
