Live – Concert by Belia Winnewisser

with analogue 16mm-Visuals / Expanded Cinema Performance by Leon Emonds-Pool

Duration 45 min.

Belia Winnewisser lives and works in Zurich (CH). Belias musical language unfolds in motion. Her sound moves between experimental exploration and pop intuition, drifting through spaces where textured abstraction meets glowing melody. It is music that holds tension and softness at once, shaping the unfamiliar into something inviting and giving bold forms a quiet pulse.

Her debut record, Radikale Akzeptanz (2018, Präsens Editionen), followed many years in
various bands, including Evje, Silver Firs, and a=f/m, as well as her studies in sound art at the Bern University of the Arts. After SODA (2021, Präsens Editionen), her third album, TheEssence Of, was released in July 2024 on the Cologne-based label SPA Recordings.

Conceived as a search for the origin of the self in music, the album ultimately unfolds as an open sonic self-portrait.

Alongside her albums, Winnewisser released two rhythmically gripping EPs: Mother Earth
Took Poison In Her Soil (Die Orakel, 2022) and Tid (with Luca Durán, Präsens Editionen,2023), both drawing on her experience as a club DJ.

Leon Emonds-Pool is a filmmaker based in Cologne, Germany. He studied at the International Filmschool Cologne and the Friedl Kubelka School for Independent Film in Vienna. In his films, which are often shot on analog Super-8 or 16mm material, he explores the complex relationship of humans with the natural world and tries to challenge the contemporary perception of it. He also works as an analog projectionist and is one of the founding members of the Cologne-based artist-run-filmlab FILM AUF FILM.

Program in collaboration with FILM AUF FILM Köln.
