Rio Cinema
The final day of The Judgement Hall shifts to cinema, bringing sound and image into alignment through two focused presentations, in collaboration with Rio Cinema.
The festival closes with a newly commissioned live score by Neptunian Maximalism to Sergei Parajanov’s The Legend of Suram Fortress. Presented in a special restoration in collaboration with the Georgian National Film Centre, this one-off screening brings together film, sound, and space as a single time-bound encounter. The ensemble’s long-form, continuous approach to sound operates in parallel with Parajanov’s symbolic visual language, shaping the experience through duration and density rather than illustration.
Also presented is NYX × Gazelle Twin’s Deep England, shown in a cinema context that foregrounds collective listening and temporal focus. Originally developed through live performance, the work’s choral–electronic structures translate powerfully to the screen, allowing voice, text, and cultural memory to be experienced as a shared cinematic condition.
Together, these presentations bring the festival to a close through concentration rather than spectacle — reaffirming The Judgement Hall’s commitment to works that demand attention, patience, and presence.
