In our pursuit of public space presentations and non-narrative film education, number9ine has made significant strides in enriching global cultural landscapes. With the launch of the Global Non-Narrative Film Festival, featuring award-winning works by acclaimed director Michael H. Henderson, such as “35CENTS” and “SUSPENSION,” we are committed to advancing the appreciation of this vital art form.
At number9ine, we pride ourselves on our innovative approach to public awareness entertainment. By seamlessly blending contemporary opera with orchestral and band accompaniments in our film projects, we have captivated audiences at renowned venues such as the Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, and Teatro alla Scala. This unique fusion of art forms not only entertains but also enriches the cultural fabric of communities worldwide.
Our mission is to bring these transformative experiences to large public venues, creating opportunities for local growth and community engagement. Research has consistently shown that public space exhibits have a profound impact on social cohesion and economic vitality (Smith, 2021; Johnson et al., 2019; Williams, 2018). By leveraging the power of non-narrative film and immersive storytelling, we aim to enhance public spaces and foster meaningful connections between people and their environments.
Number9ine is redefining the landscape of public awareness entertainment, seamlessly blending the grandeur of contemporary opera with the dynamic vibrancy of orchestral and band accompaniments within our film development projects. This innovative approach caters to prestigious venues ranging from the Bolshoi Theater to pulsating nightspots like Hi Ibiza and Omnia Las Vegas, showcasing a versatile entertainment portfolio that captivates audiences across the globe.
Beyond traditional spaces, number9ine’s adaptability extends to international expositions and urban marketplaces, from Dubai’s Expo city to Kansas City Power and Light District, thereby cementing its global footprint in the realms of culture, creativity, and entertainment.
Our mission is public space where the fusion of sound, visual art, and narrative experimentation thrives. Inspired by our early groundbreaking non narrative work in Baraka and Powaqqatsi, we aim to push the boundaries of traditional media. Exploring the synesthetic interplay between music, film, and art to create immersive experiences that challenge perceptions and invite reflection.
