Estação is a three-day radio festival held in an old relay station on the coast. Its opening titles follow one operator through a night shift: headphones on, a dial turned by a hair, and a message copied into a notebook before the signal fades.

A festival in a relay station
Estação is three days of radio, live sets and talks in a 1950s relay station on the coast. Each edition opens with a short title sequence in the main hall.
A message before it fades
The sequence follows one operator through a night shift: headphones on, a dial turned by a hair, a voice found in the noise and written down in pencil before it goes. Felix wrote the message, which the audience never hears in full. The festival’s name is the last word he writes.
In the hall
The titles opened the 2023 edition and play on the festival’s site all year. Tickets for the next edition sold out in nine days.
