Didi Cheeka is curating a program from audio archives in Nigeria; Filipa César and Marinho de Pina are bringing together voices and sounds from Malofo in Guinea-Biassau; Johannes Praetorius-Rhein and Jonas Schöneberg from the Goethe University Frankfurt are presenting Hanswolfgang Bergs' radio broadcasts about cinema, which were produced for SWF between 1946 and 1969; Sara Pinheiro is composing a piece from the Foley sounds from the Národní filmový archiv in Prague; and from the Arsenal there are recordings of film discussions that took place in the Delphi cinema as part of the Forum in the 1970s and 80s. Each program lasts about two hours.
