Lost and Sound ReelAbilities Film Festival | Greater DC 2015 Tuesday, April 28 | NVCC - Annandale Campus | 6:30pm
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.
Directed by Lindsey Dryden / UK, 2012 / English / 78 min
PROGRAM IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE FILM Join us for a conversation with Debi Leekoff, a former Fairfax County Public School music teacher with first-hand experience of the challenges and amazing rewards of raising a child who is profoundly deaf.

The 4th annual Greater DC festival will feature 18 screenings will be held at more than 15 partner locations.
