TUNE UP YOUR HEARING

We’re living in a time dominated by turmoil: wars that never cease, hate speeches that scream, algorithms that amplify the mundane… To deal with that constant noise, we invite you to tune up your hearing through a careful selection of the best non-fiction cinema.

Because listening, paying attention, and stopping are, in themselves, radical acts.
And because sound —invisible, profound, and so many times pushed into the background— offers us a different access, since it can move us, make us uncomfortable, and reveal ourselves.

This is why sound will be the focus of our professional sessions this year. We will explore how using it creatively can narrate what the image is not able to show, give form to the invisible, and come along with the most intimate of the characters.

But, beyond technique, there is something essential in this gesture: listening is also a form of resistance. Resistance to the totalitarianism that silences. To the oblivion that erases. To the noise that misleads.

In this seventh edition, Majordocs is a place to slow down again. To stop together. To look at reality without embellishment. And this year, especially, to listen to it.
