Lost and Sound ReelAbilities Film Festival | Greater DC 2015 Sunday, April 26 | Temple Beth Ami, Rockville | 7pm
One out of seven people will experience hearing loss in their lifetime. Meet music critic Nick Coleman, dancer Emily Thornton, and pianist Holly Loach who journeyed deep into sound and silence to re-discover music after losing their hearing. Intimate filming, original animation, a rich musical soundtrack (often manipulated to reveal what deafness actually sounds like), and new insights from the world's top neuroscientists and the filmmaker - who herself experiences hearing loss - all combine to tell the story of the great human love affair with music.
This screening is presented by the Washington Society of Jewish Deaf.
Directed by Lindsey Dryden / UK, 2012 / English / 78 min
