Anechoic Chamber Episode 9: Thomas Nordanstad

Welcome to episode 9 of Anechoic Chamber, freeform audio from the margins of art and culture. This week's guest is filmmaker Thomas Nordanstad. Thomas currently helms the production company Electric Avenue Pictures, and has a cinematic resume whose highlights include documentary films dealing with creative response to repressive societies, a series of visually immersive films produced in collaboration with Carl Michael von Hausswolff, and some ambitious new projects: these include a forthcoming feature film entitled The Letting Go, a slow film treatment of Rikrit Tiravanija's communal dining project, and a trilogy of Pinter film adaptations. The economical and essentialist nature of Nordanstad's film is an increasing rarity in an image-saturated cultural atmosphere, and has provided plentiful rich material for the discussion to follow.
