32 SOUNDS
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.
The Academy Award® Shortlist Documentary Feature Film has been deemed "the best documentary you've ever heard" by Rolling Stone and "one of the 10 best-reviewed films of the year" by Metacritic. It has won three Cinema Eye Honors, was named one of the Top Five Documentaries of 2023 by National Board of Review, and received two Critics' Choice Documentary Awards nominations.
