Conjuring reality and wonder, 'Speak so I Can See You' takes us to a seemingly different era, by exploring the world of Radio Belgrade. One of Europe’s oldest radio stations and a true institution of the city, the station still broadcasts original programming and helps keep history, culture and critical thought, as well as ever- relevant questions about ourselves and the world, from slipping out of memory and mind.

Set at the intersection of an observational documentary and a unique sensory experience, the film conjures everyday scenes at the station, and immersive interludes exploring the relationship between sound and the space it inhabits. Through a synaesthetic blend of sounds, words, notes, echoes and light, we are taken into a unique cinematic soundscape that doubles as a love letter to radiophonic art, and is a disarming insight into what makes us remember, understand, think, discover, and feel.
