"What is live cinema? According to the Transmediale
festival1 press release for its live cinema program in 2005
the term “Live Cinema has hitherto been used primarily to
describe the live musical accompaniment of silent movies.
But that was yesterday. Live Cinema today stands for the
simultaneous creation of sound and image in real-time by
sonic and visual artists who collaborate on equal terms and
with elaborate concepts. The traditional parameters of
narrative cinema are expanded by a much broader
conception of cinematographic space, the focus of which is
no longer the photographic construction of reality as seen
by the camera’s eye, or linear forms of narration. The term
“Cinema” is now to be understood as embracing all forms
of configuring moving images, beginning with the
animation of painted or synthetic images.”
