Centro Visitatori ValfurvaSnowsound is an audiovisual project and musical research that intertwines Olympic archival materials, to enhance the historical memory of winter sports, with contemporary artistic languages. An engaging experience, focusing on accessibility and cultural inclusion.
Immersive installations
The archival footage of the Olympic winter sports (1920s - 1970s) flows with its material grain and is reactivated by electronic soundscapes: a contrast that opens a dialogue between past and present and allows viewers to revisit those sequences with a new perspective.
The sequences are displayed on three monitors, each with its own audio — curated by Pierre Alexandre Tremblay, Walter Prati, and Painè Cuadrelli — available in headphones in a selective mode, also thanks to binaural coding.
Two screens showcase competitions in different specialties; the third is dedicated to mountain environments and amateur skiing practices of the time, focusing on Bormio and Livigno, to compare the evolution of sports and changes in the territory.
The materials come from the FICTS and Istituto Luce archives; research with Franco Ascani (FICTS), curation and coordination by Luca Mosso (Filmmaker Festival), image editing by Greta Mauri.

The SNOWSOUND Project
SNOWSOUND is an audiovisual project and musical research born from the collaboration between MMT Creative Lab and Filmmaker Festival as part of the Cultural Olympiad: a cultural experience that intertwines Olympic archival materials, live sound recordings, and site-specific multimedia installations, to enhance the historical memory of winter sports – in view of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games – through contemporary artistic languages, generating an experience capable of engaging heterogeneous audiences and diverse territories of Lombardy, with attention to accessibility and cultural inclusion.
