Winner of The Saint Andrew Award for Best Film and The Winston Ryder Award for Best Sound.

For a film that uses sound to create layers to expand its narrative and explores the relationship between sound and the space it inhabits, for a film in which the audience is taken into a unique soundscape that doubles up as a love letter to Radio Belgrade as well as an insight into what makes us remember The Winston Ryder Award for Best Sound goes to Ivan Zelić for his work on Speak So I Can See You. For a beautiful, poetical, and imaginative ode to radio sound, for offering a sensorial experience of one of the oldest European radio stations and for allowing the audience to connect to different fragments of its history The Saint Andrew Award for Best Film goes to Speak So I Can See You (Marija Stojnić, Serbia, 2019).

Speak So I Can See You

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 immersing interludes exploring the relationship between sound and the space it inhabits. Through a synesthetic 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 its disarming insight into what makes us remember, understand, think, discover, and feel.
