What Is Invisible Symphony?
Invisible Symphony chronicles and documents the inner workings of CicLAvia, a LA based non-profit, leading up to the largest open streets event in the history of the U.S., Heart of Los Angeles.
Covering one event that connects six neighborhoods across an eight mile route, the film explores the societal and physical barriers leading to profound human disconnections. This short documentary tells the story of Los Angeles’ cultures and communities, serving as powerful instruments in the symphony of the city.
With unprecedented access to the CicLAvia organization, the film follows— two weeks prior to the event— key CicLAvia members as they prepare for Heart of Los Angeles at their offices and during their door-to-door community outreach. For the event itself, three succinct film crews operate across the entire eight mile route, from the early morning set-up and street closures to the event’s end and street reopenings. The film's cinematography focuses on symmetry and uses slow motion to visually communicate the dreamlike feel that CicLAvia provides to its participants. An orchestral score reflects how individual places, communities, and peoples can all come together to create a space of authenticity, empathy and beauty.
