Sam Green’s 32 Sounds is an immersive documentary and profound sensory experience 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 will be presented in “live cinema”—a style that includes live performances, audio, and visual effects, designed to be an experience rather than just a screening. It will feature live narration by New York-based documentary filmmaker Sam Green and will be accompanied by musical performances by JD Samson and Michael O’Neill.
32 Sounds was awarded the Outstanding Nonfiction Feature at the Cinema Eye awards this past January and was featured on the Oscar prediction list in 2023.
