Site & Sound is an event series that explores the relationship between architecture and film. Each session will feature curated clips and short films around a chosen theme, inviting discussion around particular elements of representation and the different techniques employed by filmmakers. Themes will examine a multitude of perspectives on architecture, ranging from varying building types to their individual component parts and how these are interpreted by the viewer as they see the world through the lens of the built environment.
Often overlooked, thresholds are the spaces in between: a doorway, a border or a pause. In architecture, a threshold marks the moment we pass from one place to another. It's both connector and divider that holds tension and potential. More than a physical transition, it's a state of ambiguity where boundaries blur and everything feels possible.
In film, thresholds take many forms. A simple door can lead a character into another room, shifting the mood and moving the story forward. Directors use these moments to collapse boundaries between spaces, between realities and even between the screen and the viewer. Sometimes we’re drawn in and at others we are pushed to reflect on our own role in the act of watching.
This event explores thresholds as spaces of transformation between conscious and unconscious, interior and exterior, seen and unseen.
