Winner, New Vision Award, CPH:DOX 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part film essay, part sound experiment, Aura Satz\u2019s electrifying\u00a0Preemptive Listening\u00a0<\/em>is an urgent exploration of the social, political, and sonic dimensions of the siren. Tracing its evolution from shepherd\u2019s bugle to World War II air raid alarm, Satz reflects on the siren\u2019s omnipresence today\u2014from warning systems for environmental and man-made disasters to symbols of aggressive policing and state control. She combines footage shot on location at alarm sites worldwide\u2014including Fukushima, Japan; Bethlehem, Palestine; and a high school in United States\u2014with original compositions by collaborators like musicians and sound artists Raven Chacon, Moor Mother, and Maja S. K. Ratkje. Throughout, Satz also looks ahead, asking how the siren might be reimagined to better attune us to the interconnected responsibilities of our shared future.
