Oronnok Prithibi

Sound designer and sound artist, Dhaka

I treat silence as the first material of a film, and I work toward the point where you can no longer tell the sound from the image.

Sound design on Sand City, winner of the Proxima Grand Prix at Karlovy Vary, and on In the Path of Giants, selected for Raindance and Doc Edge. My sound work Moss Beneath the Concrete was broadcast on Radiophrenia, Glasgow. Berlinale Talents alumnus. Co-founder of Studio Lonthon.
