Salamandra Salamandra The Seekers of Sound
Short documentary entitled »Salamandra Salamandra The Seekers of Sound« is a musical walk through creative meanders of a young musical collective of five - Salamandra Salamandra, joined by a desire of experimenting with the sound and collective making of a spontaneous, improvised and categorically elusive music.
Camera captures them whilst performing in the Tolmin Multimedia Centre, where their musical activity is represented to the audience along with the guest local poet Ivan Volarič Feo, whereas interview with the members reveals sociable and musical side of their musical engagement.
A part of the documentary is dedicated exclusively to the driving forces of the group brothers Samo and Jani Kutin who demonstrate music making on (mostly) home made instruments in the mountain village of Čadrg above Tolmin.
They lead us through places of musical activities of youth in a village through their musical story where local and global elements of music intertwine.
Film was made in November 2007 as a product of a workshop at Tolmin "Open festival of ethnographic and documentary film from the margins Vidovin", under the supervision of a well-known Serbian director Želimir Žilnik.
