El agente de policía Amadeus Warnebring nació en el seno de una célebre familia de músicos, pero --ironías del destino-- detesta la música. Un día, un extravagante grupo de músicos dirigido por la hermosa y traviesa Sanna decide tocar una obra musical apocalíptica empleando la ciudad como instrumento y sembrando el caos y el pánico entre la población. Warnebring se entrega inmediatamente en cuerpo y alma a la caza de estos terroristas musicales.

Director: Ola Simonsson, Johannes Stjarne Nilsson
Cast: Bengt Nilsson, Sanna Persson Halapi, Magnus Borjeson, Johannes Bjork

Sound of Noise is a 2010 Swedish-French comedy-crime film written and directed by Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjärne Nilsson. It tells the story of a group of musicians who illegally perform music on objects in the various institutions of a city. The film is a follow-up to the 2001 short film Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers, which was made by the same people and followed the same basic concept. The title comes from the Italian futurist Luigi Russolo's 1913 manifesto The Art of Noises.[1]

PLAN OF THE CITY from Joshua Frankel on Vimeo.



A new film combing animation with live action conceived and directed by Joshua Frankel, about the architecture of New York City blasting off into outer space and resettling on Mars. The film’s visuals are an animated collage combining live action footage, animated elements, illustrations and treated photographs, including photos taken by the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity made available to the public domain by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Plan of the City was created in collaboration with composer Judd Greenstein and NOW Ensemble, an acclaimed "indie classical" chamber ensemble; the ensemble, including Greenstein, feature prominently in the film as live actors set inside the animated framework.

The audio of the film consists solely of Greenstein's Change, performed by NOW Ensemble; Change and Plan of the City were created in parallel, each expressing its own artistic intention while simultaneously serving its "sibling".

The film was presented with the music performed live, timed to the film, at Le Poisson Rouge in New York City in May, 2011. It also exists as its own stand-alone entity, utilizing NOW Ensemble's recent studio recording of Change(out on New Amsterdam Records).
