Free Radicals is a crossover project between music and film, developed jointly by Klangforum Wien and the film laboratory of Amour Fou Film Productions. The program will include brief musical compositions and short films rarely heard or seen in standard concert or cinema settings. By combining them, new rhythms, dramatic possibilities and interactions between sound and image are made possible.

The two short films Being and Nothingness and Seems To Be were realised by Bady Minck together with Klangforum Wien for the Free Radicals program.
