Original Audio Works For Cinema
Founded & Curated by Matt Hulse
‘A unique & entertaining cinema experience‘ nofear.org
The Audible Picture Show is an international touring show of short audio works created for cinema by a diverse range of people including visual artists, film makers, animators, radio makers, audio artists, sound designers, writers & musicians.
Each show is compiled afresh from the growing archive of 100+ unique works. Many pieces were created at the invitation of the show’s curator. Others were submitted by those inspired by the show. Yet more were found along the way.

Feedback
‘The Audible Picture Show was a wonderful success & we heard from many attendees that the event was the highlight of the conference. I’d rate the show as one of my top 5 cinema-going experiences. Matt’s choices & programming were excellent; a wide range of aesthetic & emotional works.’ (Jennifer Proctor, Programmer, ‘Studies in Sound: Listening in the Age of Visual Culture’, University of Iowa)
‘An inspiring & completely unique experience. I hadn’t anticipated being so engaged & caught up with it. Thank you!’ (Rosie Crerar, Programmer, The Magic Lantern)
‘The show at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin was terrific. I wish there were more opportunities to spend evenings like that. I think we all need more chances to encounter & consider all the interesting audio that’s being produced & found around us.’ (Patrick Williams, Austin, TX)
‘The single most moving moment for me at the Third Coast International Audio Festival was listening to a wordless recording of a nautical beacon in The Audible Picture Show. During that moment I vividly experienced the tragedy of travelling between this world & the underworld. Or was I just remembering an old French movie?’ (Matt Thompson, Chicago, IL)
‘Yesterday was the premiere of mine & other sound works inside The Audible Picture Show. It was a very inspiring show & I was excited to walk into a cinema to, for the first time, listen to my own work. I got the rare feeling that the whole crap of life is worth something in the end’ (Kristin Looer, Scotland)
