Psicofonía

Faustine Noguès comes from a family of Spanish Republicans. While trying to reappropriate the history of her ancestors, victims of Franco's repression, she comes up against a disturbing phenomenon: a persistent amnesia prevents her from retaining any information linked to this past. Faced with this intimate impediment, she embarks on an investigation into the memorial journey of Spanish society and discovers a country still struggling to emerge from silence and oblivion.

In Spanish, the term psicofonía refers to the practice of recording silence in so-called haunted places in order to reveal their invisible presences. Through an immersive sound experience, Psicofonía conjures up Spanish ghosts, living traces of a past that doesn't pass. Between humor, fantasy and political awareness, Faustine Noguès leads a personal and collective quest: to find a lost memory and question the universal necessity of memorial transmission.
