Can documentary storytelling occur solely through sound? We say yes of course! For the second year in a row, Tempo Documentary Festival is hosting a day dedicated to the art of sound.
Mona Abbasnejad is the editor for Tempo’s audio program and emphasizes the impact of documentaries.
– I never cease to be fascinated by the power of documentary storytelling. Three minutes are enough to hit me with all the emotions. In those minutes, I embark on a journey through time, backward, forward and inward. I step into new worlds. I Laugh nonstop. I have an existential crisis, says Mona.
