Experiments in Cinema is an annual, transnational festival celebrating the current trends and history of international cinematic experimentation. Experiments in Cinema is a non-competitive festival produced by Basement Films. This year we are celebrating our 19th anniversary with a host of unique screenings (100 films from 30 countries). EIC also features special lectures, discussions and curated programs. The goal of Experiments in Cinema is to bring the international community of moving image artists to New Mexico to then inspire a new generation of movie makers to recognize the value of their media-voices and create films in ways we never imagined possible.

THE WANDERING BALLAD
THE WANDERING BALLAD
Sat, Apr 27, 2024, 2:00pm - 3:00pm
Presented by Johanna and Scott Hongell-Darsee
April 27th, 2024, 2pm. Hosted by the Santa Fe Public Library (ADDRESS)
People have sung stories since times immemorial as a way to memorize and record history and myths. A kind of stone age database. The songs we today call medieval and traditional ballads have their roots among Nordic epic sagas, French romantic lays, Celtic lore and World mythology. As the songs have traveled, they have metamorphosed and melted into various musical traditions, weaving a world of fantasy and mystery.
Scott and Johanna Hongell-Darsee are a duo who perform early traditional ballads, songs and tales from Scandinavia, The British Isles and other parts of the world. Their performances blend both modern and traditional instruments in unique, original arrangements.
Their wanderings have led them from Finland and Iowa respectively - through Europe, Scandinavia, India, and North America. On the way they have picked up tales and songs that they perform together with the stories behind them, in particular exploring the links between these story singing traditions.
