Kino Loop presents Kino Loop Feature #13:
“Orange Frames” by Gamid Ibadullayev
Silent artistic film with live music improvisation
Orange Frames unfolds in an undefined future after a nuclear cataclysm. A woman has spent years trapped in the solitude of a bunker, unable to leave due to lingering radiation. Her world is built from fragments and echoes of what once existed.
One day, she leaves her shelter and begins an unexpected journey. On the surface, she encounters inexplicable phenomena and meets a mysterious stranger.
This experimental work returns to the essence of silent cinema, blending striking visual storytelling with atmospheric soundscapes. Through its poetic, symbolic language and contemplative pace rooted in the tradition of slow cinema, Orange Frames invites viewers into a multifaceted, transformed, hypnotic world. Instead of offering a fixed narrative, it creates space for open experience, personal reflection, and interpretation.
In the live-screening format, the film is accompanied by live improvised music. The musicians bring together European and Azerbaijani influences, incorporating elements of mugam, the
meditative Azerbaijani musical tradition, into a contemporary blend of electronic and instrumental sound.
