32 Sounds - Immersive Documentary by Sam Green

An immersive documentary and profound sensory experience from filmmaker Sam Green that explores the elemental phenomenon of sound. The film is a meditation on the power of sound to bend time, cross borders, and profoundly shape our perception of the world around us.

32 Sounds
#NYC - Sam Green’s film 32 Sounds, with music by Le Tigre’s JD Samson, is truly special. @TheArtsCenterNYUAbuDhabi co-commissioned the performance version. Now it’s having a slightly more traditional theatrical release at #FilmForum. Some live mix headphones only screenings. And some great post screening Q&As. Run don’t walk. https://filmforum.org/film/32-sounds

32 SOUNDS – Opens Friday, April 28 at Film Forum

“What you do get is a group of supremely talented performers, brilliant tumblers and specialist acts, feats of balance, strength and dexterity that also involves a hundred coke bottle crates, a human trampoline, and a few footballs (the performers come from various acrobatic styling – traditional and modern tumbling, modern and street dance, even martial arts and foot-freestyle). The pace and the choreography are breathtaking; there’s no danger that anyone in the audience will be dozing off.
