What It’s About
The film *The Tuba Thieves* (USA 2023) by the d/Deaf artist Alison O’Daniel takes us on an associative, essayistic journey to places in California where sound takes on a physical presence all its own: We encounter roaring airplanes, school orchestras searching for their stolen tubas, loud punk concerts at the Deaf Club in San Francisco, and the sign language poetry of Christine Sun Kim.
Why you should check it out
Forget linear storytelling, because this film follows the pure perception of sounds and silence. Developed over a period of ten years, the production draws inspiration from sound artworks by visionaries such as Christine Sun Kim and Steve Roden. The Tuba Thieves invites you to experience the world through the ears and eyes of a community that understands sound beyond the purely acoustic. It is an invitation to recalibrate your own senses and discover how much space lies between the notes.
Pssst!
Im Anschluss an das Screening vertiefen wir diese Eindrücke im Nachgespräch mit Fabian Rombach (Universität zu Köln). Moderiert wird der Austausch von Katja Lell (KHM).
Sonic Cinema ist eine Kooperation mit der KHM - Kunsthochschule für Medien.
