AN IMMERSIVE SENSORY EXPRIENCE!
32 SOUNDS is an immersive feature documentary and
profound sensory experience from Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Sam Green
(The Weather Underground, A Thousand Thoughts) featuring original music by JD
Samson (Le Tigre, MEN).The film explores the elemental phenomenon of sound by
weaving together 32 specific sound explorations into a cinematic meditation on
the power of sound to bend time, cross borders, and profoundly shape our
perception of the world around us.
Join Oscar-nominated filmmaker Green as he
takes the audience on a journey through time and space —exploring everything
from forgotten childhood memories, to the soundtrack of resistance, to
subaquatic symphonies —and experience in new ways the astonishing sounds of our
everyday lives. 32 SOUNDS investigates the mysterious nature of perception and
the subtle yet radical politics that arise from sensation and being present in
one’s body.
“Bursting with humor, emotion and curiosity, ’32 Sounds’
is a uniquely mind-expanding plunge into a dimension of the human experience so
many of us take for granted, a rare and rewarding sonic journey with the
potential to enrich our lives.”
Variety
A “relentlessly curious documentary” with “lingering
gravitas.” “With the narrator and musicians seated in front of the movie screen,
proudly displaying their processes, the effect is as though one has unscrewed
the top of a traditional documentary to expose its busily whirring component
parts.”
New York Times
”…a delightful, joyous film that changes the way you look
at — or maybe listen to — the world.”
Vox
”’32 Sounds’ would work wonders in a theatrical context,
especially given that it includes a five-minute dance break. A savvy
distributor would recognize this very special cinematic achievement as a
celebration of the theatrical experience’s unique appeal, and it would be an
excellent reason for people to return to it after a long break.”
IndieWire
”This is creative nonfiction at its finest that will make
you think differently about how you hear the world.”
