During the 1920’s an experimental film genre emerged that celebrated the life of a metropolis- The City Symphony. 

This year Homegrown Stories collaborators are again paired, this time to create a City Symphony. A video artist will create a silent City Symphony video track and an audio artist will interpret the track though sound.

The first installment was the creation of the silent video tracks. These final versions include the aural interpretations of our sound artists.

Allow the beauty and the rhythms of imagery and sound to transport you inside the CITY.
